If you’re interested in learning more about this topic, check out my in-depth guide to P90 pickups to answer all your questions. P90’s allow them to cut through the sound of the rest of the guitar. P90 pickups are popular with lead guitarists who want a brighter tone than humbuckers give them, but don’t want something quite as warm sounding. You won’t usually see them on guitars used for heavy metal though, as they don’t have a very strong bass response, and the feedback can become a problem with high distortion. They are primarily used for blues, country and rock though. They’re well suited to a range of different styles of music, so they’re pretty versatile. And you can still get some feedback issues with them, although not usually as much as you do with single coils. They don’t sound as full and warm as humbuckers though. But they also have a good mid-range response, meaning they sound quite full and thick, particularly compared to normal single coils. They have a great treble response, meaning they sound bright and crisp, and have good note separation. In terms of the tone, they are pretty balanced. This causes them to look wider than standard single coil pickups. P90 pickups have a single coil structure, but they have a wider bobbin. Okay, so we’ve already touched on this topic a bit, but let’s go through it in a bit more detail. They have a balanced sound, and have more power than standard single coils, but you will still get some feedback issues. This causes them to sound like a cross between humbuckers and single coils. P90 pickups consist of a single coil, however, they have a wider bobbin than standard single coil pickups. This is because they have two sets of coils, running in opposite directions which cancels the feedback out. Humbuckers on the other hand, sound darker, warmer and fuller, and have less feedback issues. They are named because they consist of just one set of coils. Single coils sound bright and twangy, but also quite thin and have some feedback issues.
There are three main pickup types: single coils, P90’s and humbuckers. This structure is mounted onto a bobbin, and then covered in metal or plastic. Pickups consist of magnets wrapped in coils of wire. The term “coil split”, and the term “humbuckers”. Okay, so let’s start with coil split humbuckers. There are two things to address here.
