Gibson - PU90SBBC2

Description

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.
