Best Dog Ear P90

[Montelovesco]

Thinking about diving into the „build your own guitar“ rabbithole again, and I am thinking about a 1 PU model, with one dog ear P90 in the bridge position. 

Any recommendations (no mojo/magic appreciated… ☺️)

Thanks!

Choices galore exist. I’d go with Gravelin, Rumpelstiltskin, or Gibson Custom Shop models if it were me. All were outstanding.

A sleeper is the uber-cheap low-wind Gotoh P90 found in the Peavey Firenza guitars. Easily found and they sound incredible clean but bring the snarl still.

Lollar 90s are also highly regarded but I have never personally tried them.

lets not forget Carondolet!!

Ask Murkat. He did something to the one in my '05 Junior - not sure what - that made it come alive. It went from flat Duncan-meh to incredible '50s-ish goodness.

Thanks again, Jay!

You got me with Peavey… 🙂

I love me Leosounds.de pickups from Stuttgart. Michael would create you anything you want. I‘m having a few sets. They all sound fantastic.

Can't go wrong with Gravelin. I would start with Josh. 

Lollar and Fralin also make great P90s.

There are a fair number of 50s/60s P90s on Reverb and probably elsewhere. $$$$$

It would also narrow down your choices by telling us what sound/music style you're after
