Hello all,
I have had a chambered/F-Hole tele with P90s for a little while now. The stock ceramic Roswell P90s weren't bad, but I replaced them once I acquired a set of Epi Pro 90s from a client during a build and put those in. They have been pretty rocking, but had a P90 build in mind, and Planet Tone obliged my request and built them!
The neck is their '1956' with an A4 magnet, and wound a bit hotter than usual.
The Bridge is their '1956 Hot' with an A4 magnet, and wound a bit hotter than usual.
This guitar is running a Vol/Vol setup with 500k pots with no tone and a 3-way toggle.
Sounds EXACTLY like I hoped they would! What a stellar set of pickups.
I enjoy them on clean settings, crunch, and intense gain alike. Always clear and tight. Thick bottom end, with present mids, and a top end that has snap but also a bit of girth. The neck pickup is really balanced sounding and never gets woofy or wooly, even with gain. The bridge is just a dream to play with gain, and is also fun on clean. Pinch harmonics scream out and there is a lot of clarity and warmth, without feeling loose or too much anywhere - everything has a really solid blance with a thicker, vocal midrange that always remains clear. Fast picked leads never have that 'ice-pick' attack, with a lush clarity and smooth feel. The rhythms sound tight and full, never giving you flub, and responding to picking dynamics extremely well. The middle position has that certain 'quack' that is just what I want to hear.
I could not be happier with this set of P90s. One of my favorite pair of pickps ever!!!
