Description
The SP90-3 Hot Soapbar takes the raw, honking character of a classic P-90 and cranks the output for players chasing heavier blues, classic rock, hard rock, or metal tones. Seymour Duncan builds this one with extra coil windings paired to dual small ceramic magnets, pushing gain and sustain well past a standard soapbar while keeping that signature single-coil snap intact.
Where it really separates itself from the standard SP90-3 is in the upper midrange – there’s a pronounced detail and edge up there that helps the pickup slice through a dense mix rather than getting buried under distortion or a busy band. Pick attack and subtle string dynamics come through with more sensitivity too, so your playing nuance doesn’t disappear once you dig in.
This cream-covered bridge model has a slightly shorter .585″ height profile than the standard soapbar, and it ships with a single-conductor hookup cable for straightforward wiring into your existing setup.
