Fat P-90 Tone in a Humbucker Retrofit!

With their chrome covers, the Seymour Duncan Phat Cat Neck/Bridge pickup set may look like humbuckers, but they're actually P-90s that retrofit right into your humbucker-equipped guitar. This makes for a interesting tonal proposition. The tone is big and fat - or should we say "phat." The SPH90-1 uses two Alnico 2 magnets for increased sustain and softer attack. And if you're concerned about single-coil noise, the metal covers provide more shielding than standard soapbar covers. Sweetwater guitarists agree: if you want to forge a cool and unique signature sound, drop this pair of Seymour Duncan Phat Cats in your axe.

Seymour Duncan Phat Cat Neck/Bridge Pickup Set Features:
  • Fat P-90 tone that retrofits into your humbucker-equipped guitar
  • Alnico 2 magnets for increased sustain and softer attack
  • Metal covers provide more shielding than standard soapbar covers
  • Single-conductor hookup cable
Forge a unique signature sound with Seymour Duncan Phat Cats!

Seymour Duncan Phat Cat P90s

I put these into a Tele Deluxe partscaster with a Bigsby. They are the best P90 type of pickup I've heard. Highly recommended!
by Sweetwater Customer from Chesterfield, VA on

Great Sound

I just replaced the stock pickups on my Ibanez as73 and all the wiring, pots, etc.. These Seymour Duncan Phatcats make all the difference in the world. Tone wise this guitar will hold its own with any similar style no matter the price! The clean tone is amazing on the bridge and neck. And thanks Rob Kramer for all of your help. If you need advice, give him a call.

Phat Cat Converision

I needed a P-90 guitar for slide and really didn't have cash for one, with the help from Sweetwater I now have one. After a couple of e-mails she hooked me up with these Pick-ups for really cost effective and great sounding solution. Thanks!

Awesome Pickups

I have a Peavey Patriot guitar from 1986. It's not a great guitar by any means, but it was my first guitar. The one I learned to play on, played in bands in high school and out with my dad who was a full time musician doing folk and classic rock back then. So, it is sentimental to me. Being 35 years old, the electronics were starting to break down. The pots and switches were noisy. I cleaned them all, but still getting lots of crackles and pops. At first, I was just going to switch out the pots, switch and jack, but then I figured why not go all the way and replace the pickups as well. I have a PRS with humbuckers and a Danelectro with the lipstick single coils, so I thought I'd try these P90s in here to give me another tonal option. Put them in with CTS 500k pots, a 0.022 Orange Drop Cap and a switchcraft jack and 3-way switch. The old pickups in these Patriot guitars are large, almost humbucker size single coils. I had to enlarge the opening in the pickguard just a little by filing and sanding to get these P90s in. Got it all together and it sounds amazing. Nice and punchy with gain tones with lots of dynamics. Clean tones are beautiful, clear and articulate.

Saved my guitar

Have a 2016 PRS s2 standard that I have never warmed up to. Was looking to move it on but liked the way it felt. Decided to drop a set of these in as I was looking at guitars with p90s. Game changer! Gives me exactly what I was looking for. More clarity but with a nice edge. Roll the tone back a bit on the bridge sounds great. The neck will almost do strat sound but better to my ears. Thanks to Brandt Miller and Sweetwater.
