Description
Ever wanted that raw, woody P-90 growl but your guitar’s routed for a humbucker? This is the fix. Kent Armstrong built a true single-coil P-90 into a humbucker-footprint housing, so it slots straight into any humbucker-equipped guitar without you touching a router or chisel. Same cavity, same mounting hardware — completely different voice.
Tonally, it’s everything a good P-90 should be: fat, articulate, and full of midrange character. One player put it best, saying the note definition reminded them of a baby grand piano — every string ringing out clean and distinct even under drive. It’s a genuinely versatile pickup, equally at home cutting through blues, snarling on rock rhythm parts, or adding warmth to jazzier voicings.
This is the exact pickup Stromberg spec into their Monterey guitars, so it’s proven in a serious build, not just a bedroom project. Because it’s a true single coil under the hood, Kent Armstrong also offers it in reverse-wound/reverse-polarity versions for hum-cancelling pairs — check that you’re ordering the configuration your build needs.
