My “Vintage formvar” P-90 soap bars offer a warmer alternative tone to my ’60s units. I wind my pickups with vintage correct 42 AWG Heavy Formvar wire and use low gauss alnico 5 magnets. These pickups have a warm fat bottom end and a nice clear but round top end. They are suitable for Jazz and Blues and music styles that require a warmer tone. I use a shielded Gibson style braided lead as standard. I can install a twin core shielded plastic insulated lead for flexibility of phasing with other pickups by request. I wind my neck units clockwise with south up polarity in line with Gibson and Epiphone pickups, they will noise cancel with my bridge units.
