Phat Cat
Want the focused mid-bite and unique attack of a P-90 but have an instrument routed for humbuckers? You need a humbucker-sized P90 Phat Cat set. The Phat Cat is a true single-coil P90 soapbar retrofitted under a humbucker cover for use in humbucker-equipped guitars. Originally developed in the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop for Hamer Guitars, the demand grew so much that it was moved to regular production.
The Phat Cats give you all the authentic grit and growl you'd expect from a vintage P90 soapbar in the bridge position, along with the P90 bounce and sparkle in the neck position. Chords have bright, ringing harmonic overtones, while solos offer that classic P90 cut and edge. The pickups use two Alnico 2 bar magnets for more sustain and a compressed attack, with metal covers providing better shielding and noise reduction than standard soapbar covers.
Other features include a nickel silver bottom plate, single-conductor braided hookup wire, and vacuum wax potting for squeal-free operation. The neck model is RW/RP (reverse wind/reverse polarity) from the bridge pickup to provide noiseless operation when used together. The Phat Cat humbucker-sized P90 pickups are hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA.
