A balanced mix of clean tones and convincing overdrive.
Today, we tend to think of P90 pickups as sitting somewhere in between single coils and humbuckers. It may be old tech, but it’s not outdated.
So picking the best P90 guitar took some legitimate work. Gibson designed and produced the first iterations of P90 pickups way back during World War II. P90’s are some of the oldest examples of electric guitar technology, predating both the shimmery tones of Fenders’ single coils, and the fat humbucker crunch coming out of Gibson. P90 pickups hold a special place in electric guitar lore, and in my twenty-plus years of playing, I’ve had the good fortune to own a few. But you might differ, so bookmark this article and come back later to check out all the other great P90 guitars we included. The Fender Player Mustang is a second close. In case you’re pressed for time, here’s the punchline: the best P90 guitar out there, in my opinion, is the Epiphone SG Classic.
