  1. I got a chance to try them in an Artist Korina and was really impressed. I have recently play another Artist Korina with (I believe) Duncan 59's. What a difference, the 59's sounded lifeless and dull. I also played 2 Studios with standard Duncan P-90's and 59's as well as a Monaco Elite with standard P-90's and again no comparison. I am assuming they were standard Duncan P-90's, please correct if I'm wrong. I'm wondering if it was the pickups (Phat Cats), the particular Korina or the combination of both that made this particular guitar sound so good. The Phat Cats sounded very full and warm in all 3 positions. I think the best comparison is a cross between a Les Paul Standard/Custom and a 335. The guitar was a trade in. I'd love to get the guitar but GC has it priced as much as a new one or more. I'll try to give it a month and see if it's still there. Rock on!
  2. Hey Gang, Sorry if this was already discussed. Is anybody using these pickups either in your Hamer or other guitars? I wanted to get an idea of what your opinion was of them. Here's the writeup on the Seymour Duncan site. They seem to cover alot of ground for a P-90 pickup. Thanks. application Authentic P-90 sound in a humbucker retrofit size pickup. Recommended for country, jazz, blues, rockabilly, classic rock and heavy rock. description Originally developed in the Custom Shop for HamerĀ® Guitars, a Phat Cat is an actual single-coil P-90 Soapbar that fits under a humbucker cover and drops into humbucker-equipped guitars. The tone is big and fat, er, phat. It uses two Alnico 2 magnets for more sustain and softer attack. Also, the metal covers provide more shielding and noise reduction than standard soapbar covers. Comes with single-conductor hookup cable. complete setup Available for both neck and bridge positions in a balanced set. The neck pickup is RW/RP relative to the bridge for hum-free performance when both pickups are used together. guitars For use in any humbucker-equipped guitar. Works especially well in balanced instruments with rosewood, ebony or maple fingerboards. available mods Choose nickel plated or gold plated cover (included). players Tom Dumont / No Doubt, Bill Frisell, Steve Pedulla / Thursday
