Ben at JJ's has been working on these guys for a year or so. It shows. They're everything you could hope for in a humbucker sized P90 and they come in black or nickel tops. Ben: "We have managed to shoehorn our full size J-90 (P90) into a humbucker sized footprint. We make each bobbin by hand to allow coils to be wound with 42 Gauge Plain Enamel wire to full P-90 turn counts. We use full size, rough cast Alnico bars. These are the closest to true P90 tone you'll get in a humbucker size."
Specs - Bridge ~7.9K, Neck ~7.1K (+/-.2K)
Magnets; Bridge A4, Neck A2.
Metalwork; The same 1018 Low Carbon Steel as we use in our Sovereign Humbuckers and full-sized J-90 pickups.
Recommended pot value A500K
Recommended tone cap value; 0.047-0.022uF
