Gibson P-90 Soapbar Pickup, Black

The golden era of Gibson tone returns with the Gibson Pickup Shop Original Collection. Paying tribute to Gibson's iconic past, the Original Collection houses the coveted '57 Classics, P-90s, Burstbuckers, and more that have shaped sound across all generations and genres of music.

First introduced in the early 1950s, Gibson's legendary P-90 single coil pickup produced a raw powerful tone that helped define The Blues and Rock and Roll in their formative years. Today, the P-90's traditional combination of high output and brilliant tone is still considered a favourite among many top musicians. Known by the familiar nickname of "Soapbar", the P-90 still cuts through any type of music, all while displaying amazing tonal sensitivity for everything from blues and rock to mellow jazz riffs. It's perfect as a vintage replacement and features vintage, braided two-conductor wiring. It's also fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of unwanted microphonic feedback.
