I’ve owned a lot of Stratocasters, Telecasters and Les Pauls, but never had any with P90s. Then last week I was about to sell a les Paul Traditional because I just never liked the tone from the 57 classic humbuckers, but an idea hit me to try a set of Duncan Phatcat P90s. They are made to fit in a humbucker route without any mods.
It’s like I’ve found a new religion, I can’t put this guitar down now, it sounds so damn good. The P90s are a perfect middle ground beteen a single coil and a humbucker...play lightly and you get the crisp single coil sound and then dig in and you’ve got thick creamy humbucker tone...glorious. Play normally and there’s a hint of growl like nothing I’ve experienced. And of course running 11.2 makes it even more fun to go from clean to mean without touching a single dial on the guitar or the axe, it’s all in the pick attack applied. I love the ways these sound through a tweed twin with a drive in front. I’ve been playing for 30 years and really regret not making this discovery a long time ago. Now I’m wondering if filtertrons should be my next discovery, but that’ll have to wait until this honeymoon passes. Anyone have any other amp/cab suggestions for glorious P90s?
