SOAPBAR
Hand winding of P90 pickups produces a world of diffence in comparison to machine winding, a far clearer
open sound with a good dynamic range and no mud.
The traditional 10,000 turns of 42AWG wire yields the classic P90 tone and is the reference point for the
variations on the P90 theme that I offer.
I generally sneak a few extra turns of wire on the bridge pickup to even things up with the neck pickup and
tighten the bottom end. As standard I fit Alnico 5 magnets but the usual alternatives are available.
Coil taps are possible, either as a cut or as a boost coil in addition to the main coil.
Supplied with two core shielded cables.
DOGEAR
All the same features as the soapbar version but available with cream or black dogear
style covers.
FAT MOGGY
Squeezing a P90 into a humbucker size case isn’t particularly easy and it does require
making a special bobbin to obtain a voicing as close to a true P90. Other than that
everything under the hood is what you would expect to find in a soapbar P90, twin cast
magnets, keeper bar and standard humbucker/P90 pole screws.
Available with 52 and 50mm pole spacing (Bridge/Neck) and a variety of winding and
magnet options. Chrome, nickel or plastic covers.
MINI MOGGY
A Fat Moggy squeezed into an F-Bird / Minihumbucker style case. Fitted with Alnico 5
magnets and a shielded two core cable, a nice sounding single coil option for
minihumbucker equipped guitars. Popular as a neck pickup and occasionally on S-type
and T-type custom builds.
SP90
S-style pickups with a P90 magnet arrangement and humbucker/P90 pole screws. Drop in
replacements for standard single coil pickups.
Winding can be adjusted to suit your requirements, fitted with either cloth covered
wire, PU covered wire or two core shielded cables.
TP90
The TP90 is a pickup that I developed a long time ago as a drop in replacement for standard T-style bridge pickups. Borrowing the magnet arrangement from
P90 pickups, the TP90 is fitted with stnadard humbucker/P90 pole screws and the coil sized appropriately to get as close as can be reasonably acheived in
this format to a P90 tone.
DC resistance as standard is 7.8k but it is possible to produce higher output versions from the
same base construction. Coil taps can be also included, I usually add a boost coil section to the
main coil which produces a thicker sound with a moderate lift in output.
Fitted with either shielded or individual cloth covered connection leads.
A neck version is available (TP90-N)
