P90-Bucker ..... Wallow in Rich, Lush DYNAMIC TONE
Beautiful, clear and highly dynamic sounds At last, Seth Lovers brief has been fulfilled 57 years after the event, a Humbucker that sounds like Gibson intended it to sound, like a P-90 .... but actually it's so much better than a P-90. This is one hell of a humbucker, actually a good name would be the "Humbucker From Heaven" because it’s lush sonic purity, gorgeous rich and beautiful tone, outstanding clarity and inspirational dynamics is breathtaking to experience. If you are chasing better clarity and note definition from the low wounds our regular humbuckers are pretty darn good but the P90-Bucker represents a quantum leap into the superlative. That's because single coils 'own' clarity and note definition on the low wound strings and the P90-Bucker has a genuine, 100% authentic single coil sound. Actually it sounds far better than a regular noisy P-90 because it has noticeably improved dynamic range. And it is set apart from similar looking humbuckers of other brands by our Patented magnetic technology that give our's a huge advantage and in a side-by-side shoot-out the Kinman will win by a county mile ,,, guaranteed. P90-Bucker This beyond excellent pickup for the neck position produces gorgeous, highly transparent, lush piano tones from the wound strings and delivered with a nice, expressive whack attack. Over endowed with even order harmonics the plain strings sound can only be described as "beautiful". Similar to our P-90 Hx Sweet Neck model, it is designed to minimize the messy sound from the neck pickup when the low wound strings are played together in a chord. In the neck position it balances well in terms of loudness and sonic character with most PAF type of pickups in the bridge. An out-of-the-box pickup that sounds wonderful for Jazz and any music with melody lines (for Surf and twangy instrumentals checkout our sharp sound Twang-Bucker). P90-Bucker Clean Bridge Another excellent pickup that sounds similar to a regular neck model in the bridge slot. A little bit louder and a little bit less treble to complement the regular neck model in the neck position. Choose both for a set that has an overall cleaner sound than the dirty sounding P90-Bucker Heavy. The Clean Bridge works very very well in the neck position to provide easy crunch, along with the Heavy model in the bridge. P90-Bucker C&B Neck with Crunch & Bite it's the perfect companion for a P90-Bucker Heavy in the bridge. Both break into crunch easily with moderately loud room volume and both have a nice bite. P90-Bucker Heavy Designed for bridge position but works in the neck too for a big fat sound not too trebly. Similar to our P-90 Hx model the Nasty 90 produces fat growl with nice sweet biting highs pretty much like (but better sounding than) a regular Gibson P-90. It's about as loud as our PAF Astound and 59+ LPS models. The perfect companion in the neck is the (above) C&B model.
For reverse offset pole configuration specify Left Hand in the Order Form.
P90-Buckers can not be split to one coil, so, since our Zero-Hum P90 in a humbucker cover delivers such a superb sound, superior to a humbucker, we believe foregoing series parallel switching is a small price to pay. What would you rather have from one pickup .... one superb sound -or- three sounds that all fall short?
Various colored top plates are available on the 240 Open-Top hand buffed Nickel-Silver or Gold plated covers. See Technical & Application info section below or What's New section >Open-top humbuckers with new decorative top plates.
Patent number 8,791,351 Our Humbuckers cancel hum better than any other humbucker but, there is another type of noise called 'electrical buzz' which can only be minimized by shielding the wiring cavities (refer to >Technical >Perfect Guitar >Shielding for newer guitars) Technical & Application info:
Introduced August '14. When Gibson’s President Ted McCarty told Seth Lover to silence the P-90 in 1955 I took that to mean keep the P-90 sound and get rid of the hum. Well Seth got rid of the hum (almost) but the sound of his humbucker was nothing like a P-90. Gone were the expressive whack attack and the piano tones of the low wound strings. Gibson sat on the pickup for 2 years for that reason and only released it in 1957 under pressure in response to Gretsch’s silent Filtertron pickup. Meanwhile a whole generation of guitar players has grown up not experiencing the wonderful sonic attributes of a gorgeous P-90. They don’t know what it means to have expressive whack attack and piano tones coming from the low wound strings. That's because the P-90 was relegated to the back burner due to the massive amount of 60Hz mains hum it produces and it died a death at the hands of Gibson's marketing team and Seth's humbucker. Some 57 years later in 2013 and Chris Kinman discovers the obscure Law of Electrical Physics that prevents humbuckers from sounding anything like a P-90, especially on the low wound strings. This Law of Electrical Physics is relatively unknown since one of the few places it operates is in the side-by-side coil arrangement of a humbucker. From an understanding of the actual problem Boss Chris devised a solution using our recently Patented technology to allow the coils to produce a more natural string sound, free from that destructive Law of Electrical Physics in the coils. The revolutionary P90-Bucker is the result and gorgeous, transparent, lush piano tones delivered with a highly expressive whack attack is the sound it produces. Direct replacement for conventional humbuckers such as Gibson, Duncan etc. Some guitars (a few Ibanez, some Fender Strat and one or two others) have pickups with excessively rounded corners. If a pickguard is fitted (for example Fender Strat Deluxe) please consider our Humbucker-Tron.
