I vote for the P90. But it was not a fair shootout , cause neck mounted is a totally other sound than bridge mounted. So the single coil had no chance to win :-)

[@jonsanders1296]

Agreed

[@edgelite]

I never even tried P90s for years because I thought they looked cheap. But then about ten years ago I played my buddies LP with P90 and there is no going back now. I love them. The first set was GFS Dream 90s that are the same size as a HB. I put those in my LP and man oh man. Nice comparison. Thanks Mike.

GOOD STUFF , But the true comparison would be better if all the pickups were in the same position . that single coil (or any pickup ) being up by the neck ads alot of warmth to the tone , Thus not really a fair or accurate comparison. but they do all sound great . ;-)

Thanks Mike for this video Instructive to hear the different pick-up :)

[@dannewman3029]

You are the best Mike would be nice to have one of those 3 string sigar box guitar's Keep up the good stuff

[@MrGwtwdbss]

Man, that blue New Orleans with the P90 sure does look familiar. Thanks again Mike! 😀

[@keithconner9036]

P90 for the win. How can a soap bar sound so dirty in a good way?

[@turinhorse]

P90s were born for CBG's... but was unfair comparison with the single coil in the neck position

[@74dartman13]

It's hard to pick a favorite. They all sounded great!👍😎🎸🎶

[@billyhall4228]

Thought I would like the humbucker from the start but I like dirty and the P90 did it for me 🎸 Thanks Mike !

[@piercedarrow57]

Oh Man...Welcome BACK Mike - sure have missed 3 String Thursday since your Awesome mini 'Farewell to 2020' Concert back in December! SO looking forward to Thursdays again!!! GREAT comparison...can't pick out a TRUE favourite...put that P-90 played Dirty sounds pretty friggin' Amazing!!! Cheers Mike...can't wait 'till NEXT week!!!

[@PhillipBasinger]

Nice builds Mike like your channel

[@johnwashburn3793]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!!

[@emigoth]

COOL MAN👍🏻LONG LIVE 3 STRINGS 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 I have a killer cigar box guitar with humbucker (neck position) and simply circuit with volume and tone. With orange crush 12 the sound is pure magic..LOVE IT!!!

[@adammono1839]

Mike that p90 is the business! Do you make these pickups?

[@dgperforms1]

Single Coil was super muddy. Single Coils in my Strat are bright ie SRV

[@Chaplin835]

nice MR.Mike

[@AvidEric]

You're high, right? 😂 And I guess I'd prefer a mixture of the P90 and a single coil sound...

[@s21martin1]

I will go with the Humbucker

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Yea me to but the...Single Coil....l don't know man...?

[@iquemedia]

mike as soon as i get my stimmy I'm buying a three string

[@dwood2342]

I got completely lucky. I found a CBG on Facebook marketplace last year for $60. They said it was won in a fundraiser silent auction and was barely played because they didn't know how. It was a Snowden #1145.

[@noelm2688]

Single coil for the W

[@Beemerboy324]

The single coil is the only one in the neck position.

[@johnaustin1825]

What about Piezo?

[@zilcman83]

Where you order p90 for cigar box, thinking to upgrade my balalaika with it)))

[@thegreatone-australia1851]

Humbucker by a country mile - in my opinion.

[@steveshoemaker6347]

l guess the Humbucker.....Single Coil ?....l don't know man...Close call...!

[@arthurdeleniq]
