Unleash the power of the legendary P-90 tone with the Seymour Duncan SPH90-1n Phat Cat, a perfect blend of vintage vibe and modern innovation. This unique pickup is a genuine single-coil P-90 Soapbar that conveniently fits under a humbucker cover, making it an ideal upgrade for humbucker-equipped guitars. The Phat Cat produces big, fat tones reminiscent of the vintage P-90 sound, but with a modern twist. Its tone beautifully balances strong midrange and treble response with a warm, spongy low end, cutting through the mix with ease.

The use of two Alnico 2 magnets enhances sustain and ensures a softer attack, while its nickel-silver cover not only gives your guitar a vintage-style look but also reduces noise and provides better shielding than standard soapbar covers. Whether you're a seasoned pro or an enthusiastic beginner, the Seymour Duncan SPH90-1n Phat Cat is a perfect way to breathe new life into your favorite humbucker-equipped guitar and explore the classic sound of a P-90.
