KINETIC PICKUPS P90 AND P94
THE LEGENDARY SOUND OF P90s
Let me share something with you. Nestled within the iconic riffs and soulful melodies of rock and blues legends lies a hidden gem. A secret that most players never discover. I'm talking about P90 pickups. These little miracles embody everything we guitarists crave. Warm, rich sound. Incredible versatility. Raw power. Dynamic expressiveness. And that vintage vibe straight from the early 1950s.

THE MYSTERY OF VINTAGE TONE
Most guitar lore is shrouded in mystery when it comes to vintage tone.
Most guitar lore is shrouded in mystery when it comes to vintage tone.
Here's a game-changing insight. We've discovered crucial distinctions between modern pickups and prime vintage examples.
Vintage P90s sound open, warm, balanced, and natural. They breathe freely. The full sound moves forward, helping you create music that matters. Modern versions often sound harsh, unmusical, with that uncomfortable feeling like something is pulling your sound backwards.

We've conducted thousands of tests to understand how magnetic fields work in vintage P90s and in the ones we design.
We've done everything possible to produce pickups that sound "in your face," open, musical, and capable of giving you that feeling of free, breathing tone. Handcrafted Kinetic Pickups showcase the art of shaping sound based on vintage wisdom combined with innovative hum elimination technology.
OUR NOISELESS TECHNOLOGY
The theory behind noise and hum elimination isn't new, but eliminating interference while keeping your tone alive? That's the real trick. That's where most companies fail.
Kinetic Pickups use a counter dummy bobbin along with the active bobbin. However, this technology has always had one serious drawback. Dummy bobbins can eliminate noise effectively, but they also kill a good amount of your desired sound. Typical noiseless pickups don't sound authentic. Frequencies drop out, especially in the high range. The sound becomes strangled and sterile. When we made our Noiseless P90, we matched the active and dummy bobbins together in a way that eliminates unwanted noise while retaining the full spectrum of sound.

This isn't easy work. Countless tests have proven our approach works. But here's the honest truth. This technology is extremely tedious and time-consuming. Electronic measurement tools simply don't work here. Only human ears can find the right balance. Our P90s must be made by hand and meticulously ear tested and matched.
Adjusting the coils is just the first step. Providing proper shielding and grounding is the second. To maximize effectiveness, we employ multilayer alloys of several materials.
Copper prevents electromagnetic interference at specific frequencies. Nickel, silver, and aluminum protect against other frequency ranges. Kinetic Pickups guarantees the highest level of noise and hum elimination, outperforming every other brand.
THE SOUND THAT MATTERS MOST
Let me be completely honest with you. Hum cancellation isn't our pickups' main advantage. We paid significant attention to sound quality because we genuinely love the pickups of the past.
Here's the problem with cheap modern magnets. They provide harsh sounds and unappealing high-end frequencies. They don't let the strings vibrate freely or breathe. We use special order magnets that replicate the chemical metal fusion found in vintage pickups, manufactured at extra expense.
The right amount of wire on a coil is crucial. Modern pickups tend to overwind coils for greater output, but this reduces high-end clarity. Hotter pickups provide better response and make playing easier. But they have increased impedance which acts as a low-pass filter, reducing treble response and compressing your sound.
Vintage pickups have lower output because they have fewer turns of wire. That lower impedance produces a cleaner, more dynamic sound with greater touch sensitivity. This is the defining characteristic of vintage tone. This is the key to that magic you're searching for.
Kinetic Pickups produce output similar to antique models, offering authentic sound as close as possible while providing excellent playability. P90s are considered the noisiest pickups ever created. It was a special challenge to develop our version. Now we're confident that our Noiseless P90 and P94 will be an excellent choice for anyone who refuses to compromise on genuine vintage tone but needs to eliminate unwanted noise.

VERSATILITY: THE GREAT EQUALIZER THAT FITS VARIOUS MUSIC STYLES
Here's what virtually every guitarist agrees on. P90s are among the most versatile tone generators ever created. We can't imagine playing death metal on a Tele or nailing authentic jazz with a Strat. But we feel pretty confident covering all those bases with a good P90.
For more than 80 years, P90s have evolved in response to changing trends, finding their natural home in every musical landscape. They're valued for their distinct tonal signature and ability to cut through any mix with prominent character. Their unique adaptability makes them the preferred choice for players who refuse to be limited by genre.

We designed our P94 to bring our fantastic P90 sound to humbucker-equipped guitars. We used the exact same materials and architecture as our full-sized P90s, adapted for a drop-in humbucker fit. This hybrid design allows you to upgrade any guitar routed for traditional humbuckers without cutting, carving, or permanently altering your instrument.
Simple swap, incredible tone.

Stop choosing between the guitar you love and the tone you crave. The P94 brings the legendary, raw power of a vintage single-coil straight to your favorite humbucker-equipped guitar.
No routing. No carving. No regrets.

DEISGN FEATURES: THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE MAGIC
Here's where it gets interesting. At the heart of every P90 lies a very large single coil bobbin. Yes, size matters. These bobbins encompass a larger area and capture wider string vibrations than Tele or Strat bobbins. That wider magnetic aperture picks up more of the string's oscillation, capturing more bass and low mid frequencies. The smoother decay creates that softer, fatter sound we all love.
The wires wrap closer to the poles, and magnetic flux fields perform far better than in traditional single-coils and even humbuckers. That higher inductance gives you higher output.

Double alnico magnets, each the size of a full humbucker magnet, increase overall output while adding to the signature P90 character. Here's the trade-off. The larger the front area of a pickup, the more noise it will produce. A standard Strat single-coil has a smaller footprint and stays quieter. But we guitarists have always known that the best things in life come with a little beautiful chaos.
The P94 is our solution for humbucker-routed guitars. It's a humbucker-sized single-coil pickup designed to replicate that legendary P90 tone while fitting into your standard humbucker routing.
P90s are rich with harmonic complexity that adds serious depth to your playing. From silky jazz melodies to aggressive hard rock and punk.
Their vintage charm adds authenticity to your music, inviting you to journey through the sounds of eras past. And the dynamic range? These pickups respond to your every touch with expressive clarity, elegantly responding to your playing nuances. When you hear how P90s cut through a mix with perfect balance and musicality, you'll know exactly what I mean. Your smile will say more than any words ever could.
THE CHARACTER THAT DEFINES YOUR SOUND
THE TONE THAT MAKES YOU FEEL ALIVE
P90s offer this incredible blend of warmth and bite. Plenty of mid-range brightness and that magical "spank" that makes them perfect for bluesy lead lines. You get the shimmery, sparkling nature of regular single-coils combined with the fuller, thicker, fatter output of humbuckers. When you dig into distortion, these pickups have that beautiful grit that keeps you from ever sounding thin or weak.
