Transform your guitar’s tone with the Seymour Duncan P90 Phat Cat Pickups, a powerhouse set designed to bring the iconic P-90 sound to a humbucker-equipped guitar. These pickups might masquerade as humbuckers with their sleek nickel covers, but they deliver the unmistakable growl and clarity of a classic P-90. Built with dual Alnico II magnets, they promise a blend of increased sustain and a rounded, softer attack, making them ideal for players who crave both bite and warmth in their sound.

The unique reversed winding and polarity on the neck pickup help to reduce hum, adding a layer of noise reduction to the already robust shielding provided by the metal covers. This means you can enjoy a broad tonal range—from sparkling cleans to thick, gritty overdrive—without the typical single-coil noise interference. Guitarists who want to step out of the ordinary and carve out a signature tone will find these pickups an enticing upgrade.

These pickups are not just about sound; they also offer a seamless fit, complete with all the necessary fixing hardware to ensure a smooth installation. Proudly made in the USA, the Phat Cat Pickups bring a touch of vintage flair to modern engineering, perfect for musicians looking to explore new sonic landscapes.
