Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer metal covers for P-90 Staples?
We do not offer metal covers for our P-90 Staple.

What values of potentiometers and capacitors do you recommend for P-90 pickups?
The most common/traditional choices are 500k pots (both volume and tone) and .022μF caps—and these are the values we typically recommend. That said, there are no hard and fast rules. You can read more about how different pot and cap values affect tone in this two-part blog post: Part I - Pots, Part II - Caps.

How far from my strings should I set my P-90 pickups?
With two exceptions—our P-90 Staple and Alnico Pole P-90—all of our P-90s have adjustable poles. Your poles should be adjusted so they are as close as possible to the strings without actually touching them. We recommend starting with a 1/8” gap between the top of your pickup’s poles and the bottom of the strings and slowly reduce the distance. Be sure to check that the strings don’t hit the poles when you’re playing or muting the strings with the palm of your hand, and that there is clearance when you’re fretting high up the neck.

Do you make noiseless P-90 Staples?
Our DC-90 is a hum-cancelling soapbar pickup that was inspired by our P-90's tone.

Do you offer a third wire on P-90s—like you do on your Tele neck pickups—for series/parallel or in/out of phase switching?
We can do a jacketed two-conductor wire with P-90s that will allow you to take advantage of in/out of phase or series/parallel wiring for a small per-pickup upcharge—contact us for pricing and details.

Do you offer F-Spaced P-90 Staples?
The P-90 Staple is not offered in an F-Spaced version.
