A lower output than the '57 with a little less attacki but with a little more clarity & definition. This is my brighter P90 similar to the old pickups of the early '50s. With a rounder sound than a traditional single coil with that fatter, grittier P90 sound a great clear, warm voice part way between a single-coil and humbucker the Classic '53 P90 pickup won't drive an amp as much as the '57 P90. The Alnico 2 being a slightly weaker magnet than the 4 or 5, gives a warmer, more vintage style voice - Alnico 3 sweeter still. A great P90 pickup for those jazzier sounds. The stonger Alnico 5 magnets help to give a brighter attack.

For a set I'd reccommend an Alnico 2 or 3 in the Bridge & Alnico 4 or 5 in the Neck.

Simple 3-Way wire. Available in black or cream P90 pickup covers, Soapbar or Dogear style.

A higher output than my Classic '53 that gives a fatter, fuller body P90 sound with that dirt & grit when driven - a little warmer with real attack, grunt and definition. A great lead P90 sound for a bridge position pickup with a sweeter warmth in the neck. Simple 3-Way wire. Available in black or cream P90 pickup covers, Soapbar or Dogear style.
