Description
Seymour Duncan SP90-2n Hot P90 Soapbar Cream Pickup
The SP90-2n Hot captures a punchy, articulate P90 voice with enough output to sit prominently in a mix without losing the classic soapbar character. This ceramic magnet design operates at the aggressive end of the P90 spectrum, delivering vintage tone with the modern presence and sustain needed for contemporary recording and production work.
Tone & Output
A peak frequency of 5.1 kHz and 11.86 kΩ resistance create focused midrange presence that records cleanly across both dry and heavily processed signals. The elevated output handles overdrive and distortion with clarity during tracking and mixing while preserving the warmth and woody character that defines P90 tone.
Construction & Reliability
Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal, ensuring stable, noise-free operation across all amplifier settings and recording chains. The reverse wind reverse polarity (RWRP) configuration enables hum-cancelling in humbucker-to-P90 mixed pickup configurations without sacrificing the single-coil tonal character.

What is vacuum wax potting and why does it matter?
Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal, ensuring stable, noise-free operation under any playing condition or amplifier setting—critical for gigging musicians and recording sessions.
Is this a drop-in replacement for my guitar?

How does the SP90-2n Hot compare to other P90 options?
The SP90-2n Hot sits at the aggressive, high-output end of the P90 spectrum compared to the vintage-leaning SP90-1n.
