Features
:
Black surface mounted dog-ear P-90 ceramic pickup....around 7K imp.
Instrument
:
A late 60's Norma body & neck.....period!
I put this single Artec P-90 pickup in the bridge position.
500K CTS Vol. & Tone pots plus a .022uf Orange Drop Capacitor.
Sound
:
7
Good output level....higher than a Strat or Tele PU.
Has that raw LP Jr. sound.
Played through an Epi Jr. tube head amp & a 1 x 12 slot-loaded cabinet w/1950's DNH "top hat" alnico speaker.
As a mostly blues player, this pickup has a nice raw/edge to the sound that works out well IMO.
Overall Rating
:
8
About the cheapest P-90 available....$9.99.
I picked this up to experiment with in a DIY project guitar.
While not up to Gibson quality standards....it still has that classic P-90 sound.
If I had to do it again....I would probably spend more $$$ and go with a GFS P-90.
That said....all-in-all....for an VERY inexpensive P-90 ceramic pickup....it certainly more than gives you your money's worth.
