Overcharged HSP90 – Alnico 9 Hi Gain Humbucker sized P90 pickup

This humbucker sized Alnico 9 P90 pickup in Humbucker format (or HSP90 for Humbucker-Sized P90) has some under the hood. The combination of a 43 AWG light overwinding bobbin (thinner wire than for vintage P90s) and two Alnico 9 magnets (yes, you read a “9” correctly) make it a real little bomb. The Alnico 9 brings power while having a slightly vintage character. It is a bit of a vintage counterpart to the modern Alnico 8.

Did you say “Overcharged”?

Don’t get me wrong, you won’t be doing blues / rock with this one, it’s not his favorite ground. No, think rather palm mute and heavy saturation with the grain and the typical attack of the P90. An atomic mixture! The clean sounds are ready to twist as soon as you attack with the pick. In distortion, the sound is compact, with tight bass and midrange that allows you to break through the mix. The highs are slightly behind but benefits from the P90 grain in the attack, a real delight. Install it in a lightweight guitar that lacks a bit of body to turn her into a real monster. Ready for the Grind!

It will go perfectly with a Pistol HSP90 in the neck position.
