Seymour Duncan SPH90 Phat Cat P90 Single-Coil PickupSPH90-1 Real-deal single-coil P-90 sound in a direct replacement for humbucker-equipped guitars. Phat Cats provide a great combination of output and high-end response. The tone is big, fat, and punchy with enhanced upper-mids for extra “cut.” When used together, both pickups are hum-canceling.

Feature:
None, you dont need any

Quality:
very sturdy, accidentally droped the box it was in on the floor from a tall table and it still works fine.

Value:
They are definitely worth it. You can tell a difference as soon as you start playing.

Desirability:
The wanting for a p90 sound is fufilled with this product. SD nailed it, putting a p90 in a humbucker casing? Genius!!!!

Sound:
I have a les paul and the humbuckers had a bit of a muddy sound that just couldnt seem to cut through to shine in the high end department. these p90s absolutely have no problem giving me high end with out sacrifice the low end that i also need.

Ease of Use:
Its a pickup, just drop in and enjoy

Support:
dont need them

Overall:
I would recommend these pickups to anyone wanting to split with a humbucker and try something new.

Feature:
Does everything I ask it to….Country, rock, blues, metal….all from a stratocaster!

Quality:
Stick with Seymour Duncan pickups, nothing else compares, I own at least ten, never had a problem with any of them.

Value:
Can’t beat ‘em for the price………

Desirability:
I wouldn’t use anything else in a Strat…..bridge position, I leave the stock pickups in the middle/neck. Sexy combination

Sound:
Sounds great in the bridge position of a Strat type guitar. Hard rock/metal easily done with true tone. I’ve tried ‘em all, this is the best for your Strat……….

Support:
Never needed their help, their website says it all……….

Overall:
I put this pickup in my 95 American (of course) Stratocaster a week after I bought the guitar when it was new……never been disappointed with it, I wish I could say the same for all my other gear! I stress that I use this in my strats only, I prefer a Seymour Duncan distortion in my Les Pauls….but then again, that’s a whole different beast!

Seymour Duncan SSL4 Quarter Pound Strat Single-Coil PickupThe SSL-4 has more than double the power of a stock pickup. You get a fat, punchy sound, clean at lower volumes and high output when cranked.

Value:
For what I payed, I am very pleased with the performance of this pickup.

Desirability:
I’ve had a few people mention that they’d like to try one in their axe as a result of hearing mine.

Sound:
‘Just installed a Quarter Pound at the neck in my Ernie Ball Silhouette Special. Tone is very warm, with great output. It hangs pretty well with the two humbuckers in my guitar. The only draw back is that I have to work at keeping the clarity on the high end. It’s GREAT for blues and mildly-overdriven rock styles.

Overall:
A long time…at least until I get the ‘tone bug’ again and start trying to find another sound. I am very happy now.

Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro Humbucker PickupAfter players heard the Alnico II Pro single-coil models, many asked for that same sweetness in a humbucker version. The only way to get that sound is to use the Alnico II musical magnets with a new coil winding. The result is a warm, sweet tone with more natural string vibration for great sustain.
