The Lollar DC-90 pickup set brings a hum-cancelling solution to players who love the lively midrange punch and gritty snap traditionally associated with vintage P-90s. Designed in a soapbar-size format, the DC-90 was built for those seeking the signature growl and articulation of a classic single-coil voice, but without the persistent 60-cycle hum that comes with true single-coil designs. Taking inspiration from the tonal character of Lollar’s celebrated '50s Wind P-90, the DC-90 maintains clarity and presence while delivering a quieter, more stable performance across various playing environments.
While the DC-90 shares external dimensions with standard P-90 pickups, its internal dual-coil construction leads to a different mounting setup. Instead of mounting through the center polepiece line like a traditional P-90, the DC-90 is anchored at the edges, similar to the method used for mini-humbuckers. This adjustment allows for optimal coil positioning and noise cancellation, but it also means that installation typically requires drilling new mounting holes. To streamline installation and ensure proper alignment, Lollar offers an optional acrylic mounting template, available separately.
Designed to retrofit any guitar routed for a P-90 with only minor modifications, the Lollar DC-90 set is an ideal option for players who demand classic P-90 tone in a quieter, hum-cancelling platform. Whether you're chasing articulate cleans or throaty overdriven textures, the DC-90 keeps the spirit of vintage tone intact without the drawbacks of traditional single-coils.
