35-40 Days

Usually the timescale is still up at around 35-40 days as each pickup is custom made and I simply work through orders one-by-one - I am trying to get that back down.

    Slightly lower output than the '57 and with a little less attack it has increased clarity & definition. This is my brighter P90 similar to the old pickups of the early '50s. Rounder in sound than a traditional Strat or Tele single coil with that fatter, grittier, warmer P90 voice part way between a single-coil and humbucker the Classic '53 P90 pickup won't drive an amp as much as the '57 P90, staying cleaner sounding.

    The Alnico 2 being a slightly weaker magnet than the 4 or 5, helps to give an overall warmer, more vintage style voice - Alnico 3 sweeter still. A great P90 pickup for those jazzier sounds where warmth, sweetness and string definition are all balanced. The stonger Alnico 5 magnets help to give a brighter attack with a little more punch.

    Simple 3-Way wire. Available in Soapbar or Dogear style.
