The Seymour Duncan SPH-90 1N Phat Cat Neck "P90" Style Guitar Pick Up. A true P-90 soapbar pickup squeezed into a humbucker cover.
The Seymour Duncan SPH-90 Phat Cat P-90 Soapbar pickup. In the past, if a guitar player wanted true P-90 soapbar tone from a humbucker-equipped guitar, he or she would have to physically alter the guitar: Usually irreparably and often destroying the resale value of the instrument. Those days are over with the release of the SPH-90 Phat Cat. Phat Cats are true P-90 soapbar pickups squeezed into a humbucker cover. They are direct retrofits for most humbucker-equipped guitars, without need for permanent modification to the instrument. Phat Cats are the call for the player looking for a great combination of output and high-end response. The tone is big, fat, and punchy with enhanced upper-mids for extra "cut." Like traditional P-90s, Phat Cats embody a true single coil design with two sand cast Alnico magnets and single conductor, braided shield, hookup cable. The short, flat bobbins account for the fatter, midrange-intensive tone; and the nickel-silver cover will reduce higher frequency harmonics - 120, 180, 140, etc. and tames the raggedness sometimes associated with P-90s. The result is a pickup with a unique sonic signature. Phat Cats are vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance. Mounting hardware (screws and springs) is included, as is a detailed wiring diagram. Phat Cats are hand built in Santa Barbara, California.
