Fabolous pick-up
Geir/Norway 14.08.2017
I have installed a set both in my Gibson Les Paul Studio as well as in my Gibson Midtown Standard and these pick-ups just sound amazing for everything between clean to full full overdrive. Pure Rock & Roll tone and response great to guitar roll off in volume. I simply cannot recommend these pick-ups enogh.

Awesome sound
Newbie Guitar Player 09.06.2022
I had no prior exposure to the P90 style of pickup so I decided to give it a go in my Squier Mustang. The tone is distinct and I think it fits the neck position really well. My bridge pickup is a Seymour Duncan Invader, which is an absolute monster of a pickup, but when split balances really well with the Phat Cat. I've wired my pickups with individual volumes for extra balancing options, but I rarely find myself tweaking them when the bridge is split. Build quality is top notch, as you would expect from Seymour Duncan. As pictured, the package includes a pickup ring and mounting hardware as well as some of the most common wiring diagrams and links for more elaborate instruction. This was my first pickup job and the wiring went really smoothly thanks to the diagrams on SDs website - they had the exact diagram for my use-case - P90 + HB + 3-way switch + 2 vol and 1 tone.

Just be mindful of the measurements - if you guitar has uncovered pickups, you might need to modify it. In my case I had to use a dremmel tool to enlarge the neck pickup opening in my pickguard. Also the screws that came in with the pickup were too long and I had to reuse my old screws. The Mustang has a very slim body and the stock screws would touch the bottom of the cavity and raise the pickguard. I had to accept the limited pickup height adjustment coming from the shorter screws in favor of being able to fit the pickup at all. In the end it all worked out well and this is not a fault of the product. I hope by sharing my experience I can help others make an informed choice.
In terms of sound, it exceeded all my expectations.

The best Idea i had!
Marco2683 07.05.2015
I needed an alternative to my Gibson humbucker sound but I don't really fit into the stratocaster world (albeit I have tried several times), the answer? a Gibson LP with these babys, what a great sound! And still with sparks of single coil, great tone, and balance in the pair. it's a definitive go!

Very nice sound
StephanPK 07.12.2021
Installed it as a bridge pickup on one of my guitars, sounds amazing. Sounds like something between humbuckers and single. A bit fatter than classic P90 sound.

Phat Tones!
DrewGR 06.01.2019
Very smooth and fat tones from the P-90. I put it in a Les Paul and it was almost way too thick for neck position. But for anything else it sounded awesome for lead playing. Rhythm, not so much.

So warm and creamy
Hucklebernie_Finn 01.09.2022
I've installed this PU on a singlecut semi hollow in the neck position and it outplays all other p90s I own. Especially the clean sound is so warm and broad on my setup. Probably the best upgrade I put in a guitar so far.

Amazing P90 Pickup
David9591 06.06.2017
I was looking to replace the neck Humbucker in my Gibson SG 60s Tribute with a P90 and after reading lots of reviews settled on this one over the Gibson P94s.

The tone of this pickup is very nice. It offers that typical P90 sound but with a nice phat tone. I was very pleased with how well it combined with the Gibson Burstbucker 2 bridge pickup. The combination of the smooth P90 tone and the snarly bridge humbucker is perfect for me. Gives a wide array of sound combination options when using the switch.

I can only recommend the SD Phat Cats!

Great
Jamie O S. 21.05.2013
This will get you 95% of the true P90 sound. It doesn't hum very much through my Plexi. I don't notice anything difference from a humbucker in terms of hum. It sounds amazing though

I can say it feels like %95 original P90. Also my Korean SG didn’t have to be drilled :)
