A set of Phat Cats offers true P-90 growl and bite in any humbucker-equipped guitar without modifications.
Want the focused mid-bite and unique attack of a P-90, but have an instrument routed for humbuckers? You need a Phat Cat Set.
The Phat Cat is a true single-coil P90 Soapbar which fits under a humbucker cover for use in humbucker-equipped guitars. We originally developed this pickup in the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop for Hamer Guitars, but eventually, the demand became so great that we moved it to regular production. It gives you all of the authentic grit and growl that you’d expect from a vintage P90 Soapbar in the bridge position. Chords have bright, ringing harmonic overtones while solos have that classic P90 cut and edge.
We use two Alnico 2 bar magnets to give you more sustain and a compressed attack, while the metal covers provide more shielding and noise reduction than standard soapbar covers.
