Cut through the mix and demand to be heard!
The Hot 90s are overwound, and powered by a pair of cast Alnico V bar magnets. With more attack and a more sizzling, harmonically rich bass than most P90s, this set is perfect for the hard blues and rock oriented P90 fan.
Construction-wise, each Hot 90 pickup offers incredible attention to detail. Nickel-Silver is used for the baseplate, and the hook-up wire is vintage-spec braided single conductor wire. The neck and bridge pickups are a RWRP set, offering hum-cancelling performance in mid-position when used with a standard three-way toggle.

Excellent P90s. All that classic grunt on the low end but don’t sound wooly or muffled. The mid presence is what you would expect and they take overdrive really well. I put them in a thinline tele.

It was my first time with a P90 and I have to admit that it was truly amazing! I never had such a good experience when installing a new pickup! I always had some disappointments or heard not so much difference. The Tonerider Hot P90 is a wonderful pickup, it delivers an excellent tone in every situation. With a clean sound, it pushes the amp close to the break-up point and it is perfect for some classic American sounds like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eagles, or R&B. It is never harsh, even with the tone knob set to 10 and has a great dynamic. With a crunchy sound, it is perfect for a lot of things, from blues to grunge, or something more sophisticated adding some reverb and modulation. With a distorted sound, it becomes very angry, pinch harmonics everywhere, never muddy, a wall of sound when playing power chord, keeping clarity in the high strings! This is a superb pickup at half the price of the competitors.
