Pickup Overview
The classic P-90 "soapbar" design has been around since the 1950s. We took an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach to the Platinum 90.
All the clarity and depth you expect from a great P-90 — clang for rock tones, smoothness and refinement for blues and jazz. Works equally well in solid bodies and semi-acoustics.
Available with Black or Cream covers.

What Players Are Saying
"Just wanted to drop a note about the Platinum 90 in the bridge of my Gibson Melody Maker. Lived with it for months — extremely smooth and balanced, lovely sweet high end, so responsive to volume roll-off and pick dynamics. I've got a collection of high-end pickups; the Platinum 90 has made me resent the amount I've spent on others." — Matt, Basildon
"The cleanest soapbar I've owned. Clear, articulate, and the clang you expect from a P-90 without any harshness." — P-90 player
"Beautiful tone in my SG. The Platinum 90 brought it to life." — SG owner
