The traditional P-90 has a sound that is more powerful than a single coil, but is cleaner and clearer than a humbucker. However, the physical shape of a P-90 makes it so it won't fit in most guitars without modification. This Phat Cat P-90 Soapbar single-coil pickup set solves this, by putting a traditional P-90 under a humbucker cover so more people could access the beefed-up single-coil sound. In this set, the bridge pickup is RW/RP so it cancels hum when both pickups are used together.

Originally developed in the Custom Shop for Hamer 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. This 11108-16-NC Phat Cat P-90 Soapbar single-coil pickup set comes with single-conductor hookup cable.

    I bought these to put in my Epi Icetea burst ES335 . I was not disappointed at all. It really gave me that tone I've been searching for with this guitar. I tried Seth Lovers, also a hot rodded set as well but they just didn't work for me. These Phat Cats give me the cleans I like,and that nice Phat Growl I love. So for me these are great pickups I will be adding a set to my Epi Korina Flying V as well.
