Bright Sweet Neck ~ if authentic impolite P-90 sound is what you like, Kinman is the one you want
There is a BIG difference between a Single coil and Twin coil sidewinders and humbuckers.The purist Kinman P-90 Hx is the only true noiseless P-90 single coil.Bright Sweet Neck – with the recently revised v3 top coil upgrade and it's beyond excellent sonic character it now rates as the outstanding best P-90 neck pickup. If you like stellar highs that sizzle with harmonic sweetness, you'll also love the heavily accented piano mid-tones in the lows. We think you'll also dig the way every note explodes with liquid fluency under the lightest and fastest pick attack where every note literally rolls off the fretboard and rapidly moves a lot of air in front of the speaker. Consequently the Bright Sweet Neck is one of your most stimulating and satisfying P-90's to play. We think you will fall in love with it's lush somewhat 3D Fender-ish sound and excellent note separation and it's not inclined to break-up easily under heavy pick attack at loud room volume. It's exceptional for lively clean sounds but also delivers a great gain/overdrive sound too. The Bright Sweet Neck reports every subtle nuance of your playing to your amplifier like few other P-90 pickups. Powerful bright & clear, good definition, it's the only P-90 not inclined to mush and sloppy blurr on the low wound strings on the neck pickup. The one-of-a-kind Bright Sweet Neck works well with the Bright Clean Bridge. And both-on-together produces amazing and most intense, highly dynamic scooped 'c-luck' sound of any known pickup. This pair really packs a wallop. This is all true, it's not just our fanciful imagination. NEWS Flash 18-August-2022: We now supply our new 'Universal' soapbar covers in genuine Gibson Cream, Warm White, Aged White and Black, click the option when ordering. A must for Gibson guitars! More Big NEWS May-2021: Gen-3 upgrade to v2 Hum Sensor (Bottom coil). No more routing cavity floors, the new shorter Gen-3 version has arrived and fits most P-90 guitars, the exceptions are Les Paul Historics and 2005 R5 Gold Tops with cavities like this. Improved sound, improved performance over the original Gen-2. For replacing humbuckers with a similar sound look at our P90-Bucker in the Humbucker section. Technical & Application info:The Sweet Neck is a Zero Hum pickup. Some people will call these noiseless P-90 pickups but Kinman prefers to describe them correctly as Zero-Hum P-90 pickups. That's because there are 2 types of noise, Hum which is cancelled in the pickup and Buzz which can only be minimized by shielding the wiring cavities (refer to >Technical >Perfect Guitar >Shielding for newer guitars
As with all Kinman Gen-2 pickups these are very sensitive to height adjustment. A good starting point, so the neck and bridge pickups balance, is with the two E strings fretted at the 15th fret, adjusted as follows ...
Installation Consider including our optional non-magnetic mounting plate kit, it makes install fast n easy because you don't have to drill holes in the precise position for the pickups mounting screws in cavity floors. Do NOT use original Gibson mounting plates, being magnetic will dramatically compromise the hum cancelling ability of the P-90 Hx.
