Description
The Suhr S90 takes the beloved P-90-style formula from the 1950s and refines it with modern-day precision, giving you a soapbar pickup that’s loud, a little raunchy, and still warm enough to sing on a clean channel. This is the neck-position version, wrapped in a cream cover, and built for players who want humbucker-level output without losing that airy single-coil top end.
Plug it into a blues rig, a jazz box, or a classic rock setup and the S90 shows its range: throaty growl when you dig in, glassy clarity when you back off. It’s the kind of pickup that reacts to your hands rather than flattening everything into one tone.
John Suhr’s background in pickup design shows up in the details – premium wire, carefully matched magnets, and construction that stays consistent from unit to unit. The neck S90 measures 7.1K ohms DC resistance, tuned slightly lower than its bridge counterpart (8.1K ohms) to keep the low end from getting muddy while preserving that soapbar bite.
