Seymour Duncan STK-P1b P90 Soapbar Stack Cream Pickup
The STK-P1b delivers the classic warmth and character of a P90 in a compact soapbar format with modern stacked-coil engineering. Designed for bridge position work, this pickup balances vintage tone with hum-canceling performance, making it an excellent choice for tracking and mixing sessions where authentic P90 voice is essential without traditional noise floor issues. The cream cover complements both vintage and contemporary instrument aesthetics while providing durable protection for the coil assembly.
Tone & Recording Characteristics
The Alnico V magnet paired with a 31.6k ohms DC resistance produces a medium output that sits naturally in the mix—articulate enough for clean recordings and aggressive enough for overdrive and distortion sessions. The stacked coil design eliminates 60-cycle hum while preserving the midrange punch and harmonic complexity P90s are known for, ensuring consistent tone capture across multiple takes and mix revisions.
Construction & Studio Integration
Wax potted construction ensures long-term reliability and microphonic stability under varying temperature and humidity conditions common in home studios. The four-conductor lead wire provides maximum wiring flexibility for coil-splitting or other custom configurations, while the included wiring diagram simplifies installation regardless of your instrument’s existing electronics.
