Seymour Duncan Phat Cat Humbucker-Sized P-90 Pickup Set for Electric Guitar

Initially created in the Custom Shop for Hamer Guitars, the Phat Cat stands out as a genuine single-coil P-90 Soap bar pickup, designed to fit seamlessly under a humbucker cover and be installed in guitars equipped with humbuckers. This pickup delivers the delightful neck position bounce and shimmering characteristics that one expects from a classic Gibson P90 Soap bar. When strummed, chords produce a rich tapestry of harmonics, while solos exhibit a unique springiness that only single coils can offer.

The Phat Cat employs two Alnico 2 bar magnets, enhancing sustain and softening the initial attack of the notes. Additionally, the metal covers significantly improve shielding and noise reduction compared to standard soap bar covers. The neck model features reverse wind reverse polarity (RW/RP) capabilities, which work to eliminate unwanted noise when paired with the bridge pickup, ensuring a noiseless operation in various playing situations.

Experience genuine P-90 sound with the Phat Cat Humbucker-Sized Pickup Set, which promises an authentic bite and growl without the need for any modifications to your guitar! This innovative solution allows players to enjoy vintage tone dynamics integrated into their humbucker-equipped instruments.

Combining vintage grit with modern versatility, Seymour Duncan’s retrofitted P90 pickups allow guitarists to transform their humbucker-equipped guitars into vintage tone machines. The Phat Cat pickups are designed to offer a focused mid-bite, showcasing harmonic richness that contributes to a timeless and iconic sonic signature.

With the Phat Cat, you will notice a remarkable boost in both sustain and articulation. Thanks to the two Alnico 2 magnets, players can enjoy a compressed attack coupled with lasting notes, resulting in a musical expression that enhances both chords and solos alike.

Proudly crafted in the USA, specifically in our Santa Barbara, CA factory, these humbucker-sized pickups are meticulously hand-built. Each pickup features two Alnico 2 bar magnets and a nickel silver bottom plate, and they undergo vacuum wax potting for squeal-free performance. This attention to detail ensures that the Phat Cat pickups not only meet the demands of modern playing but also capture the vintage flavors that many musicians desire.

In summary, the Phat Cat pickup brings together classic P-90 sound with contemporary design, allowing players to achieve the rich tone they seek without compromising the integrity of their instrument. Whether you are crafting lush chords or soaring solos, these pickups are engineered to elevate your playing experience, imparting a unique character that is both nostalgic and cutting-edge.
