The DP 209 Creme is a seriously hot P-90 – it’s a distortion machine! If you’re craving that raw, aggressive P-90 bite with a little extra oomph for rock, punk, or even heavier genres, this pickup will deliver a lot of attitude for a reasonable price. It's a great upgrade for guitars needing a more modern edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

The DP 209 has significantly higher output, about 30-40% more than a typical P-90, giving it a much more powerful and saturated tone.
Like most P-90s, it’s susceptible to hum, but the ceramic bar magnet helps slightly reduce it compared to older designs. Shielding might be necessary in noisy environments.
It’s ideal for guitars where you want a thicker, hotter P-90 sound, like a Les Paul Junior or a similar guitar with a single-coil pickup slot.
