Bright Clean Bridge

Hi Joe, I got the P-90 installed in the R6. Sounds amazing & works great with the Tyson Tone Lab in the neck. What a great pickup the Clean Bridge is!
 

Thanks! Dan

Tom bought Bright Clean Bridge and Bright Sweet Neck Gen-3 v2 for his Gibson Les Paul Special Tribute P-90

These pickups are fantastic!  They have great clarity and note-to-note separation, very pure mids.  The round “bell tone” sound I was hoping for is there big time.  They also have plenty of punch, overdrive is on tap when I just dig in a little. 

And the freedom from noise is amazing.  Thi guitar is now dead silent even with no contact with the strings.  That added headroom and touch sensitivity do incredible things for the dynamics.  As a pair they have added a whole new range of voices to this guitar.  I couldn’t be happier, what a great upgrade!  Money well spent.

The original Gibson P-90's were rather harsh by comparison to the sweet sounding Kinmans.  Articulation wasn’t as good and it was hard to dial in a sweet spot. In contrast, the Kinman P-90 Hx’s are very versatile and as a pair have a fantastic range of very usable tones.  And of course there was the loud hum from the originals.

Thanks for the great support and answering my questions so promptly.  All in all a first-rate experience.

I have been enjoying my new p90hx pickups (Bright Sweet Neck and Bright Clean Bridge) which I installed in a 2021 Gibson SG Special, but yesterday they got their first real test, playing with a full band.  The ad copy is true.  My SG no longer hums, even with a cranked amp .. and these pickups are also much more open, present, and articulate than the stock set.  They are incredibly versatile, going from jangly clean to roaring and distorted, which still maintaining clarity between strings.

This guitar has now moved into my number one spot.  The one thing it had holding it back before was the hum in certain situations. With that obstacle out of the way, plus their versatility to tackle many different styles, there's a good reason for this to now be my number one axe. 

Kinman were also very responsive and helpful regarding some questions my tech and I had, and we ended up with the neck pickup mounted to the floor of the cavity and not using the included tube springs.  I'm very glad I took the plunge on buying these pickups and I would highly recommend them to anyone who loves p90s but doesn't love buzz & hum, and wouldn't be satisfied with a "p90" that was in reality a stealth humbucker.  Thank you for these marvelous pickups, Kevin.
