Product Description

The Best P-90 Tone Without The Noise - Perfected

For over 70 years, guitarists have loved the P-90 sound but hated the hum. That relentless 60-cycle buzz has forced countless players to compromise their tone or suffer through the noise. But what if you could have the authentic warmth, grit, and dynamics of a vintage P-90 without a single trace of hum? The Brickhouse BH90S makes that dream a reality.

The BH90S delivers everything that makes P-90 pickups legendary: that warm, thick midrange that makes notes bloom and sustain with authority, the sparkling top end with just the right amount of grit, and the incredible dynamics that respond to every nuance of your playing. Roll back the volume and you get those fat, clean jazz tones that made the P-90 famous. Dig in hard and you unleash the aggressive bite and sustain that defined rock and roll. All without a whisper of hum.

Unlike other "noiseless" pickups that sacrifice tone for quiet operation, the BH90S uses an innovative design that preserves every ounce of vintage P-90 character while completely eliminating noise. Whether you're recording in the studio where every bit of hum shows up on tape, or playing live where stage noise can ruin your sound, the BH90S gives you the freedom to chase pure P-90 tone in any environment.

Note:
The DCR reading is much higher than normal single coil P-90's due to the nature of their hum-canceling design. This is a case where DCR should not be considered as a measurement of output because these are equivalent in output to a vintage P-90 that ranged in DCR readings between 7-9k.
