The SP90-3B Black is a real bruiser – think classic rock, blues, and even some heavier stuff. It’s got that P90 bite but with a noticeable punch thanks to those ceramic magnets. If you’re looking for a powerful bridge pickup that’ll cut through the mix without needing a ton of gain, this is a solid choice.

Product Description

Seymour Duncan SP90-3B Black, Pickup, Bridge position, Two specially designed ceramic magnets and a special coil design ensure an extraordinary frequency range and extreme output, Bridge and neck position pickups are specially calibrated for the different vibration behaviour of the strings in the various guitar positions, Colour: Black

PROS
  • • Ceramic magnets deliver a hotter, more aggressive output than Alnico.
  • • Special coil design provides a wider frequency response, avoiding boxiness.
  • • Calibrated for bridge position, balances well with neck SP90-3B.
  • • Robust black cover protects the windings and looks slick on darker guitars.
CONS
  • • Ceramic magnets can sometimes lack the warmth of Alnico versions.
  • • Higher output may be too aggressive for cleaner, more nuanced tones.
  • • Limited tonal versatility compared to humbuckers or single-coils.
