p90 in humbucker casing

[vtpcnk]

Hi, which p90 in humbucker casing sounds best according to you?

It need not necessarily sound 'like a p90' or 'closest to a p90' - but that which sounds good in itself.

And any artists that you know of who use your recommendation? For example Harmonic Design site says Bill Frissell uses Z90, I have heard Warren Haynes uses Phat Cats etc.

This is for the bridge of a Gibson Les Paul btw - maple cap over mahogany.

Appreciate the feedback.

I've been using Harmonic Designs for 24 years , LOVE their Z90's. Just put a set in my new SG modern , the burstbucker pro's didn't do a thing for me . I've used the Gibson p94 . ok but not wow .

I have a Phat Cat in the neck of my Les Paul and I quite like it. My reference, I guess, would be a '63 SG Jr. I own.

I had some Lollars, but they were overpotted, the screws turned hard, and yet they managed to have a spike that made pick-clicks a problem as if they were microphonic.

For the life of me, I can't understand why Harmonic Design pickups get no love. I posted about them many years ago and got crickets. They had the best ad, Harmonic Design, we never heard of you either". I've had their Classic humbucker in one of my guitars for over 20 years. The Z90 is wonderful and fits in a humbucker space. I wouldn't be surprised if the VP90 was great as well. But, you never heard of me either so take it for what it's worth.

I've had good results with Gibson p94's.

I only have experience with the Mojotone humbucker size P-90 and only in the neck position.
I believe it's Alnico 4 and it sounds pretty damn nice

This guy in the UK makes hum/90s to order, inc what colour bobbins you want.. I bought a set and I’m tempted, at a later date, to maybe put them in the new 61 SG RI.
