I installed the P-90 with Alnico Rods in the neck position of a Telecaster. Simply the best sounding pickup I have ever used. The tonal balance is perfect meaning not too much bass, no brittle highs and awesome mids. IMO, this is not a “punchy” P90 however this pickup can bring some mid growl to your amp in a good way. This surprised me when I was playing totally clean through a Fender Deluxe Reverb and then a borrowed Princeton fitted with a 12″ speaker. In my ears, I have never heard my Marshall sound this good until I installed this pickup. From jazz to the Allman Brothers this pickup can go the distance whether bedroom quiet or out in the barn loud, clean, crunch or with gain. For the bridge, I ordered the Split Pole P90 which is an amazing pickup and pairs wonderfully with the P-90 with Alnico Rods in the neck position. I could write a book on how well these (2) pickups work together. As expected, it did take take adjusting the height of each pickup to find the sweet spot however once you get that clean tone set the magic begins. Another discovery made is how well the pickups respond to changing to Vol and Tone controls. I over thought and agonized buying these pickups for over a year before ordering them. I would encourage you not to make my mistake.
