Famous guitarists show you why they love the P-90 sound

[@RickMcCargar]

Jared James Nichols has all the chops of the people I grew up loving. So cool to see someone bring back old-school rock

[@joshuabeeAlafia1]

Jarod James Nichols can tell this damn story a hundred times and every single time I find delight in it... every single time.

[@Pejter-tt3me]

Love P-90 sound !

[@ldf399]

That old goldtop is something special. wow.

[@rudolphpyatt4833]

I love P90s; and as great as they are for blues and rock, they are THE SOUND OF JAZZ. Les Pauls and SGs are hugely underrated in jazz applications, where they are especially good in P90 form.

[@smartel7070]

P90's for rock and even metal are great also as they take distortion to a new level.

[@badtonestudio]

Killer Vidmashup! P90’s and P90 ambassadors are my favorites!

[@JanLawicki]

P90 is so very cool pickup. Loving it, Gibson should make more tributes version of les paul With p90’s

[@b3pahunter546]

P90s are the greatest pickup ever invented

[@TheMiddleAgedMusician-mc6xo]

My first p90 was an epiphone casino - hooked ever since. The P90 and the Gretsch Filtertron are among the best pickups ever. Well, and tele pickups

[@smartel7070]

Nice to see some P90 love! Been a fan of the P90 sound ever since I got my first Gibson in the 80's, it was a SG Special 64 and in those days you could get them for really cheap. Now I have a SG Special jr 2019 and an Epiphone Special TV Yellow 2020 and both guitars sound awesome!

[@chefboy6123]

Bring back Charlie Stars LP Jr!!!!!!!

[@AviMus82]

I feel Jared big time. I’m also a lefty and just learned how to play right handed and have always felt at a disadvantage, but I’m improving and getting there.

[@PNWJEEPER01]

I love my P90 50’s Standard; but to be honest, my favorite of my several LP’s is a 2019 Smokehouse Studio re-fitted with 50’s wiring and SD Seth Lovers.

[@jconner3891]

P90s for metal as well.

[@zaccarter3801]

Lord I need a single P-90 guitar. I feel like it’s purpose is too show you how versatile a guitar can be. Once you go back to a feature packed guitar, you have even more to apply. Of course, no one should underestimate the single butter stick.

[@brandonjackson5865]

All these great P90 players have amazing dynamics, I’m not so sure everyone would be able to coax everything out of them as effortlessly as these fellas

[@Jim-ro5sl]

Yes you need one. I have a lot of nice guitars. But I decided to just use a les paul jr for 3 months and not touch any other guitars to see if people were right about them. It is a year later and single p90 guitars are all I play. My favorite is an eastman sb 55 double cut. They're amazing. I have some gibson single pickup guitars including a real vintage 1963 sg junior but the eastman is the best by a good margin.

[@JAL-cc8jd]

@@Jim-ro5slI’ve picked up a few Eastman SB59’s and they are absolutely amazing! I think my next one will be an SB55/v single cut. They look like a fun little guitar!

[@Jim-ro5sl]

@JAL-cc8jd The single cut Eastman's are great.I have one of those too. I got it first. Looks and plays amazing. But I only play it a little. I like how easy it is to play the double cut in the high end of the neck. I'm sure you would love either one.

[@theartofcollecting2006]

I went to guitar center the other day, played an epiphone, not sure what model, but an original model and it had 3 p-90’s. Probably meant for Jazz or Country, anything but metal lol. But I played a little metal on it for fun, and wow, it sounded amazing. It suprised me how well P-90’s pulled off metal

[@lifeofthetheatre]

In 1984 just out oh high school I got my first electric guitar, a second-hand cherry red Gibson Les Paul. I played it through college but needed some cash to split North Carolina and head out for my destiny. I had paid and consequently sold it for $500 or so . Might be worth $4000 now? I never had such a sweet yet raw sounding guitar again: the action was like butter. (If any body has that guitar it came with a black hard shell case. Sold it out of a small Chapel Hill shop. I wasn’t even considering noting the serial number- don’t even know what year it was made.) These last years a got back into electric axes and have been searching for my dream guitar… I went through all the fenders, Chavels, Jacksons, schectors, LTD’s, Squire’s and Epiphones and an Ibanez or two. With Thomann here in Europa one can try out a guitar for 30 days and ship it back, no questions asked. Gibsons were out of my price range (and they have a lot of bad rep for QC these days) BUT I bit the bullet and got myself the other day a new Gibson SG Special, bare bones, BLACK and with P90’s. (I am glad i did not go with an Epiphone again.) I am STILLin a honey moon phase and enamoured.

[@jasperchance3382]

What kind of magic is in that gold top? Unbelievable.

[@JAL-cc8jd]

My number one favorite guitar is my LP gold top with P90’s. I told my wife that if it will fit in my casket she can bury it with me! 😂

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

Back in the late 80s I went to a store that was clearing out their Gibson parts. They were selling those clear bobbin p90s for like $15 or $20 each. Bought about half a dozen. Sold most of them years later, they went for way more than $20 a pop. Sounded awesome. Sadly they were a little brittle, I cracked the bobbin on one of them and it damaged the windings, so that one was a loss. Didn't know anyone who could repair it at the time.

[@AlienPizzaZombie]

I’ve got an SG 50s Tribute w P90s is one of the Best sounding and playing guitars I’ve ever owned. P90s are pure RnR \m/

[@coolcatsguitars]

Pete Townsend had a great P=90 sound

[@anthonywhite6530]

Brilliant

[@pappawmiked2162]

Charlie Starr, Jared James Nichols, and Joe Bonamasa. My 3 favorite guitarists!

[@angusorvid8840]

Larry DiMarzio was inspired to create the Super Distortion after hearing Leslie West playing his Les Paul Jr. with a single P-90. While I wouldn't compare a Super Distortion to a P-90, because it's very much its own thing, I can hear a bit of P-90 going on with a Super D including the one in my strat. The P-90 is a thing every player should get to know, a happy medium between a humbucker and single coil. In essence, it's a big, fat single coil, but they often have more power than your standard bucker with the snap of a single coil. There's nothing like a P-90 and every player should have at least one ax with a P-90.

[@JudgeFredd]

Great video

[@DougDopplerMusic]

THIS is AWESOME!!!

[@Foggjammer]

The Dorothy story is great. Well done video.

[@BlueBeeMCMLXI]

Those Talkin Blues

[@flyingburritobro68]

Single pickup p90 good enough for Leslie West, Keith Richards, and Charlie Starr - all LP Juniors then it’s good enough for me!!

[@xMaoxoaMx]

Imagine releasing a 30 minute video about P90 guitars while not even having a SG Jr., the sweetest P90 guitars, in your current production lineup. Shameful.

[@csharp57]

Gold top with p90s. Number one on my list.

[@TheStarAndTheDespot]

P90s are the true sound of rock’n’roll

[@HorizonMelt]

I tamed the hum with an Electro- Harmonix Hum Debugger. (I'm sure I'm spelling something wrong there). It was like 79 bucks on eBay. One thing though.. it has its own power supply with plug. But, just give yourself an extra power outlet.

[@richardfinney3179]

I love p90s they get that ZZ TOP SOUND WHEN YOU WANT IT OR THAT JAZZ SOUND AT LOW VOLUME

[@stepitupandgo67]

Every serious guitarist should have at least one guitar with a p-90 in it. My dream guitar is a vintage sg jr...so simple but plenty versatile

[@jordanpratt3821]

I played guitar for 20 years before I tried a p90. Now the last three guitars I've bought are p90 equipped.

[@j.h.898]

"sounds like that other kind of guitar" :D :D :D

[@musicwired1]

mike ness and j.two bags for me is the tone for p90s

[@MegaGforce5-ns3gz]

joe said it, if your rig is set up for humbuckers, you ain't using no p90. If you aggressive.

[@michaelmeyer1384]

tony iommi

[@michaelseay9783]

I had a ‘98 LP Special with the P90s. I thought they were great, but after a while I just lost interest in the sound and went humbucking.

[@MiguelMakesMusic]

can ya'll give us an Explorer with p90s? throw the Explorer a BONE!

[@cortmiller]

I think vintage Gibson p90s are some of the greatest sounding pups. But damn do they tend to be noisy and microphonic

[@davidaddington5900]

That wacky Mr X turned me onto the P90 ...

[@richardfinney3179]

Make Shure you tell Jeff Beck n mark nofler that they aren't real GUITAREST cause they don't use a pick

[@cigdamagelungs]

I ,over my jr

[@raffyzoo2130]

what about all of the noise? it is obsolete. too much noise. too much noise. hello? HELLO?
