The Oldman – Alnico 2 & 3 Vintage P90 pickup

In 1946 born the P90, an iconic Gibson pickup. This pickup, descendant of the Charlie Christian designed before World War II, was mounted on Archtops of the Kalamazoo brand. Early versions of this dynamic yet edgy single coil pickup was perfect for playing Jazz with the Alnico 2 or 3 magnet they came with. An Alnico 3 for the neck will allow you to have crisp clean tones while remaining mellow. The bridge pickup, a little more wound and with an Alnico 2 magnet, has a little more power. The overall tone is very vintage. These microphones can be mounted on Epiphones Riviera, or Casino in their Dogear version. Soapbars will equip your Les Paul, SG or other model to give them a real vintage character. While the clean sound will be round and bright, an increase in gain will crunch your amp while maintaining remarkable dynamics. The old man has energy to spare!
