Description

Vintage output about 8k, and Alnico 2 magnets make for a nice neck or bridge P-90 that’s got a bit of raunch and nastiness to it. Great vintage tone. Mostly used in the neck position, paired with the Meaner P-90. Available in Soap-Bar, Dog-Ear, and “B atwing” for SGSpecial/Classic pickguard mounting. |

I’ve had Duncan, Lollar, Fralin, and Antiquity P90s. For my needs (classic rock), you can’t beat the balance of openness and warmth of the Mean 90 (I use it in the bridge of my SG Special and my Les Paul. Just mean enough to sound full and KKRRRAANNGG without adding extra grit. Sounds SO GOOD. Also, Wolfe is a great guy to work with. Highly recommend!

Hello,
The alnico ll provide an open and articulate sound. Never Harsh or Muddy. Usable tones wherever you set your volume/tone knobs. Think… If Seth Lover was asked to recreate a “Vintage P90” from the Early PAF/PAT# Humbucker Tone.
Keep up the good work
Wolfetone!!

The Mean P90 replaced the stock P90 in my SG Jr and nailed the sound in my head. Hard to explain but this pick up is dirty yet clear. Gritty yet smooth. Perfect for what I play ( 70s punk and garage). Highly recommended and shipped quick

I bought a mean/meaner set for my epi 339-pro. This guitar already had a fret level, custom cut tusq nut, and all hardware replaced by real Gibson. I bought these, received them in 6 days. I had to wait another week for my 50s pots and caps harness to get in. All I can say is, My P90s, in my Epi, scream. My buddy, who is a vintage snob (he has 2 early 60s 335s, one with real paf and the other with p90), gave me the best compliment: thus sounds like a 5k guitar. That’s about my feeling too.

Great sounding P90. Purchased this to replace the stock Dogear P90 on my ‘21 SG Junior. The stock one was wax potted and had an A5 magnet. To me it sounded really dark & harsh, and lacked clarity. The “Mean” P90 with the A2 really gave me the clarity and openness that I was looking for, and can still get nasty & gritty sounding. Great service at a crazy good price! Thanks Wolfe!!!
