Description
P90s have a sound all their own — that snarling midrange bark and gritty sparkle guitarists chase for decades. The trouble has always been the noise floor that comes along for the ride. Lace’s Aluma 90 solves that problem outright, dropping straight into any standard P90 route while completely rethinking how the pickup generates its signal.
Instead of the usual heavy copper winding, the Aluma 90 builds its tone around an aluminum housing wrapped around a micro coil — using roughly 90% less copper wire than a conventional pickup. That shift moves the design from voltage-driven to current-driven, cutting resistance while actually raising output. The payoff is a pickup that’s virtually silent, lighter in weight, and more efficient at translating string vibration into signal.
Tonally, the Aluma 90 leans wider than a typical single coil. Expect fuller bass and midrange presence alongside clear, silky top end — clean settings come across creamy and articulate, while pushing the amp into overdrive only sharpens its edge. It’s built to cut through a dense mix live or sit forward and detailed in a studio track, holding its clarity right at the point where standard single coils start to blur.
If you’re chasing tones in the neighborhood of Leslie West, early Santana, Freddie King, or Mick Jones, this is a modern route to that vocabulary — same attitude, none of the hum.
