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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What genres and playing styles is this pickup best suited for?

The SP90-2n Hot excels in blues, rock, punk, and indie music. Its aggressive output and articulate midrange work well for players pushing overdrive and distortion, though it's less ideal for jazz and folk applications where warmer, more vintage single-coil voicings are often preferred.

Will this pickup fit my guitar?

The SP90-2n Hot is a drop-in replacement for any Gibson-sized P90 soapbar route. The .585-inch height profile and single-conductor design make installation straightforward, and it ships with a braided hookup cable ready to connect.

How does the output level compare to other P90s, and will it work with my amplifier?

The ceramic magnet design pushes this pickup to the aggressive end of the P90 spectrum with elevated output that cuts through a mix on both clean and driven tones. Vacuum wax potting eliminates microphonic feedback and squeal under any playing condition or amplifier setting, ensuring stable operation whether you're playing bedroom levels or stage volume.

Can I mix this with a humbucker in the same guitar?

Yes. The reverse wind reverse polarity (RWRP) configuration enables hum-cancelling when paired with a standard humbucker, allowing you to blend single-coil P90 character with humbucker noise rejection in mixed pickup setups.

What skill level do I need to install this?

The SP90-2n Hot works for players from beginner to professional and ships ready to drop in with its included braided cable, making the installation process straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic soldering or working with a qualified technician.
