I find them fantastic, very articulate and can even handle some high gain playing which was a pleasant surprise. A bit of hum on their own but they are single coil so to be expected, they do cancel in the middle position nicely.
Definitely worth a look.
from muddy and dead sounding with humbuckers to a really dynamic open sounding guitar.
really surprised how much ground they cover..
the neck can get close to strat, and the bridge from tele into PAF territory.
the thing that stands out for me is the dynamic range of these and.. how open they sound
They were lovely
The guitar weighed about the same as 2 Les Pauls though, so had to go in the end
I think all decent P90s in HB size should be good, but there is an issue apparently with the fact that the bobbin is not as wide, so needs some skill to get the best results
The point being, Alegree old Timer pickups are great
@rossi I've also got a Bullet Mustang and have been pondering what pickups to put in - how do the P90s sound with the relatively thin body? I was considering going for a proper HB (maybe Irongear Hot Slags) as it's quite a fun guitar for riffs...
I don't see much point in spending any more these days to be honest, the spec is right and it works.
The nicest sounding were the Toneriders, surprisingly the GFS sounded most like a P90.
I'm sure @OilCityPickups went much closer to proper P90 construction in a HB size, I've never tried them though. Perhaps Ash will send me some for Xmas. ;-)
I don’t think the prices are extortionate for a quality bit of kit, but they’ve certainly risen a bit over the years.
