P-90 Single Coil Pickup
First introduced in the early 1950s, Gibson’s legendary P90 single coil pickup produced a raw powerful tone that helped define the blues and rock and roll in their formative years. Today, the P90’s traditional combination of high output and brilliant tone is still considered a favorite among many top musicians. Known by such familiar nicknames as the “Soapbar” and the “Cobalt,” the P90 still cuts through any type of music, all while displaying amazing tonal sensitivity for everything from blues and rock to mellow jazz riffs. It’s perfect as a vintage replacement, and features vintage, braided two-conductor wiring. It’s also fully wax potted to eliminate any chance of unwanted microphonic feedback.

JARED JAMES NICHOLS
Jared James Nichols is an American blues-rock guitarist and singer from East Troy, Wisconsin. He is best known for his high-energy ‘pick-less’ electric guitar playing technique. He is rarely seen playing without his signature single-pickup Epiphone Les Paul Custom P90 nick-named “Old Glory”, or his vintage original 1953 Gibson Les Paul nick-named “Ole Red”. He fronts a power trio under his name, rooted in the early 1970s hard-rock vein of Cream and Mountain.
