A p90 is an above average pickup for a lead guitarist. It goes in the treble slot of your guitar. It sounds really nice. ==================== Incorrect. P-90s can be either in the neck or bridge position, as in a Les Paul Junior or an SG Classic. A P-90 pickup is Gibson's single-coil pickup, before the company developed the famous Seth Lover humbucker. The first Les Paul, for example, was fitted with P-90 pickups. Being a single-coil pickup, the P-90 has no hum-cancelling. But it has a radically different sound from Fender's single-coil pickups (as on the Telecaster and Stratocaster) because the Fender single-coil pickup is tall and narrow, while the P-90 is flat and shallow. The shallow profile means that the P-90 exposes more of the coils closer to the strings, resulting in a higher output and a "hotter", warmer sound than Fenders, but with less treble cut. P-90s tended to have more windings than humbuckers and so also tended to have a higher output. P-90s are known to have a sound that's somewhere in between the high, trebly, piercing sound of Fender single-coils and the warm, growling, bassy sound of Gibson PAF humbuckers. Fender pickups are known for great clean sounds while Gibson humbuckers are known for handling high-gain well, and so P-90s have a reputation for being able to do both clean and dirty sounds very well -- arguably better than either the Fender single-coil or the Gibson PAF humbucker. Guitarists who play P-90-equipped Guitars include Bob Marley, Nina Gordon, Billie Joe Armstrong, Pete Townshend (when playing his Gibson SG from The Who at Leeds), The Beatles (when playing their Epiphone Casinos) and Neil Young (on his black Les Paul, "Old Black").
