looking for another set of P90s for my JA 90 tele. just want that raw growling classic P90 sound. so far looking at lollar, fralin or kinman but am open to suggestions.


thanks!

If you want classic, Lollars are great. Honestly though, from dirt cheap to booteek, I've never met a P-90 I didn't like.
 
I am having Bryan Gunsher, BG Pups, wind one for the neck of my telecaster. I will let you know, but they are supposed to be good.

If you want classic then buy a set of 50s Gibson P90s, although a new set can be shaped and tamed quite nicely with a small NeoDym magnet, but yes, I don't think I've yet heard a bad'un, and a certain Mr Brian Mason used to prefer his Epi soapbars to Gibsons

Bryan sent me a set of his soapbars when he was starting out, so I stuck them in my Edwards which came with Seymour Duncans as stock, the SDs got flipped pretty darn quick, you will be a very happy man with a BG P90 too.

I've got a set of Rio Grandes in my Guild that sound killer. And Reverend's stock P90s sound terrific if you can find a set.
 
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the brands mentioned in this thread. Even Seymour Duncan. :embarrassed:

P90s are the most egalitarian of all pickups. Even Epiphone makes a good sounding P90. Just decide if you want low output or overwound and you should be good to go.
 
Original Gibsons from the 50's. :embarrassed:

They're the only gibson soapbars I've ever liked. Accessible to mere mortals, though, they all sound pretty awesome. A good P90 is my favorite pickup, no question.
 
Never really compared them. A Jaguar I played this past summer sounded great along with Mark's Paul that houses BG's.
 
I have a set of Rose P90s and a set of Sin P90s that I can sell you. PM me if you are interested.
 
Well TBH I love the stock Samsung P90s in my Peerless Casino... Better than the Gibson P90s in my Elitist Casino honestly. They just have a bit more bite, more mid-rangey, the gibbons are more mellow and a bit dark comparably. Also I love the stock reverend P90s in my Jetstream 390. Fantastic. I know that doesn't help much but you asked my opinion lol!
