Description
The Suhr S90 bridge pickup takes the beloved soapbar formula from the 1950s and rebuilds it with modern precision. It’s the kind of pickup that lets you dig in hard without losing definition, and back off for cleaner tones that still carry that woody, three-dimensional character single-coils are known for.
What sets the S90 apart from a standard single-coil is output and midrange density. You get the push and grit typically associated with humbuckers, but the top end stays open and articulate rather than compressed. That combination makes it a natural fit for blues, blues-rock, and classic rock players who want their amp to break up with texture, not mud. Jazz players will also find plenty to like in the pickup’s clarity and even string-to-string balance.
Every S90 benefits from John Suhr’s background in pickup design — premium magnet and wire choices, consistent winding, and attention to detail that shows up in how the pickup responds to pick attack and volume knob changes alike.
- DC Resistance: 8.1K ohms (bridge position)
- Cream bobbin cover included
- Also available in black bobbin
Drop this into the bridge slot of a soapbar-routed guitar and expect punch, warmth, and a snarl that cleans up beautifully.
