Description
This is the bridge-position Hot Soapbar from Seymour Duncan — a P-90 that’s been wound with extra coil turns and fitted with dual small ceramic magnets to push output and sustain well past a standard P-90. If you love the raw, open-coil growl of a soapbar but want more push into your amp and a bit more low-end weight, this is the ticket.
What sets it apart from the standard SP90-3 is the upper mid-range push — it’s more pronounced and detailed here, which helps the pickup punch through a dense mix instead of getting buried. Pair that with the added sensitivity to pick attack and string dynamics, and you get a pickup that responds to how hard you dig in, not just what you play.
Under the hood: single-conductor hookup cable, and a slightly shorter .585″ height profile than some other Duncan soapbars, worth checking against your route depth before installing.
- High-output P-90 voice built for heavy blues, classic rock, hard rock, punk, and metal
- Dual small ceramic magnets + extra coil winding for more output and sustain
- Pronounced upper mid detail for cutting through the mix
- Single-conductor hookup cable, .585″ height profile
- Bridge position — finished in black
Want a full set? Pair it with the matching neck Hot Soapbar for a balanced high-output pair, or run it against an SP90-1 Vintage in the neck if you’d rather keep some cleaner, woodier tone up front while this one handles the grit out back.
