THE STORY BEHIND THESE PICKUPS
Having previously owned a gorgeous 1965 Gibson ES-125 TCD. Later on, after crafting my own Strat and Tele single-coils and humbuckers, I couldn't stop thinking about how incredible those old P90s sounded. I decided to channel that vintage Gibson magic and develop my own take on that iconic pickup design.
Strat and Tele single-coils are legendary, and humbuckers are equally impressive, – but for a lot of true experts in guitar industry, P90s are the undisputed champions.
The Hybrid Tone: P90s are single-coils, but they are wider and flatter than traditional Strat or Tele pickups. This gives them a rich, warm, and thick midrange comparable to a humbucker, while retaining the snap, bite, and harmonic clarity of a single-coil. Touch-
Sensitivity: Many experts agree that P90s are highly dynamic, responding instantly to your picking attack and pushing tube amplifiers into a legendary, gritty growl.
Legendary Lineage: P90s were Gibson's first great pickups, defining the sound of classic rock, punk, and blues
It was inevitable we’d design our version of P94 so that owners of humbucker equipped guitars would be able to seamlessly enjoy the greatness of P90s.
Prepare to lose yourself for hours the same as me, as you discover the fresh, inspiring tones of this exceptional P94 set.

If you’re looking for P90s with extra depth, power, and personality – this is it. A true professional upgrade that seamlessly integrates with any legacy or current-production instrument.
Kinetic Pickups are built for musicians who want their playing nuance to come through – making them ideal for technically challenging styles and professional performance.
By reacting instantly to your playing style, they respond dynamically accurate, helping you shape expressive and inspiring tones.
You’ll find these tones full, balanced, and highly usable adding expressive options to your sonic palette.
These aren't pickups built to sit in a drawer with other unused pickups. They're built to stay in the guitar. Because once you've played them, once you've felt what that combination of vintage wire and hand-wound coils and proper magnets actually does to your tone, going back isn't really an option.
We believe great vintage pickups sound open, warm, balanced, and natural—allowing the instrument to “breathe” and project a full, expressive voice.
Through extensive testing and study of magnetic behavior, we’ve worked to recreate that unmistakable character—clear, dynamic, and alive. The result is a tone that feels immediate, musical, and responsive.
The enduring appeal of classic P90s lies in their dynamic relationship with the guitarist.
Kinetic P90s interact directly with your playing style, shifting effortlessly from aggressive bite to clean tones, delivering powerful grit under a heavy hand, yet turning crisp and clear with lighter strokes.
Here is what that means in practice. When you play with a light touch, you get the glassy shimmer and natural compression of a lightly struck string. The note has space around it, room to breathe. When you attack harder, the pickup doesn't clamp down or get brittle, it translates the force into more output without losing the harmonic integrity. The note sustains longer because the string is still vibrating cleanly. The overtones stay present rather than collapsing into a flat, compressed blob.
Everything from magnet selection to winding patterns is engineered to give you perfect string-to-string balance and unmatched responsiveness. This ensures every ounce of your personal touch shines through. If you prioritize expressive playing, this flawless guitar-to-player connection is vital—because when your instrument actually sings with you instead of fighting your every move, it completely transforms your tone, technique, and overall joy.
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.
THE TONE THAT MAKES YOUR FEEL ALIVE
As the 0,050 mm (43AWG) wire is much thinner, making it easy to achieve extremely high DC resistance numbers. This allows more turns on a bobbin, greatly increasing output while maintaining a compact physical profile.
43 AWG — More output, stronger midrange, a harder edge. Cuts through a band mix. Works well with overdrive without getting woolly. The extra output means less chain noise and more direct signal, which matters when you're competing with drums and bass for sonic space. The midrange push means your guitar sits higher in the mix without getting harsh, and the harder edge means overdrive responds more consistently, the pickup drives the amp rather than getting lost in the noise floor. If you're playing rock, if you're playing in a band context, if you want your guitar to lead rather than support, this is worth trying.
It’s the best choice for creating "hot" pickups without sacrificing clarity.
This hotter design interacts beautifully with overdriven amplifiers and distortion pedals.
Magnet quality plays a critical role in tone. Inferior modern magnets can restrict string vibration and produce dull or harsh results.
We use specially manufactured magnets designed to replicate the composition and behavior of vintage originals. This helps achieve the characteristic frequency response and feel associated with classic pickups. Every component is considered, every choice deliberate.
Magnet selection, winding pattern, materials, all of it goes toward string-to-string balance and genuine responsiveness. Your nuance comes through. For anyone playing with expression at the center of their approach, that matters enormously. If you've ever felt like your guitar was fighting you instead of singing with you, you know how much that responsiveness affects everything from tone to technique to the simple joy of playing.
