Hi,

Which pickups are better? P90 pickups or Humbuckers? Are there any differences in the sound between the two?

Thanks

Hi LazBro.

P 90 pickups are different from humbuckers. I don't think one is necessarily better than the other. Guitars like the Gibson SG and some PRS models use P90 style pickups. A Gibson Les Paul uses humbuckers. The P90 is a little cleaner as most are single coil. They are also a little nosier. Humbucker pickups tend to be hotter and thicker. I think of a P90 as in between a Les Paul and a Strat or any brighter single coil. It depends on which sound you like better.

And thank you for posting and contributing to Music Gear Review.

Hope this helps.
