Phat Cat

Seymour Duncan

collapse expand iconDescription

A Phat Cat is an actual single-coil P-90 Soapbar guitar pickup that fits under a humbucker guitar pickup 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.

    This pickup breathed new life into an old, kinda stale Epi SG. I pulled out the stock humbuckers and put this in the bridge (alone) and it has moved to the front of the pile. I love it!

  • I am impressed!

    I built my own very basic electric guitar. Tele body, Strat neck, only one FatCat pickup in neck position, only a volume control. This is my new go-to guitar. I use it to record and though it can hum I just find the direction I need to face for a while and the humming is minimal. The sound is awesome. I have always played strats but this out-strats my stratocaster in my opinion.

  • Off the charts

    Very clear sounding pickup. Has a distinct growl to it. No bass overtones like with a humbucker. Does have a clean even toned low end bass though. The highs and articulation beats any humbuckers hands down. Great for punk rock crunchiness or even metal. Not just used for older classic rock.

  • Excelent
