Seymour Duncan and Jared James Nichols Introduce Signature P90 Silencer Pickups

Seymour Duncan and Jared James Nichols Introduce Signature P90 Silencer Pickups

Seymour Duncan announces the P90 Silencer Pickups: Vintage, Hot, & Jared James Nichols signature pickups.


Jared James Nichols Signature JJN P90 Silencer

Jared James Nichols burst onto the scene as a throwback to the P90 playing power trio titans of the 70s. To deliver his signature sound, he needed a P90 that was voiced with limitless range that could cover everything from sparkling cleans to barking dirty tones. In his own words, he needed something “delicate and strong, like a grizzly bear and a paper airplane landing.”

After years on the road playing different venues coast to coast and abroad, he’s encountered a variety of unique hum inducing sources. Having a pickup that could retain the quintessential tone and appearance of the classic P90 pickup without hum was a must. The JJN P90 Silencer was custom voiced specifically to Jared’s unique tone without the hum. The pickup is a drop-in replacement for any standard P90 route.

“Simply put, the Seymour Duncan Jared James Nichols P90 Silencer is my dream pickup.”

P90 Silencer

NECK:

P90s have always been somewhat of an insider’s pickup. Those in the know recognized the P90 as the bridge between single coil and humbucker tones. With the bright and articulate treble tones you’d expect from a single coil and, due to their shape, also the warmer rounded tone that gets close to what you want from a humbucker. But, because P90s are single coils, they also bring the noise. The innovative noiseless design of our P90 Silencer neck pickup retains all the tone and appearance of the classic P90 pickup without the 60-cycle hum. The output for this model is matched to the vintage spec. These pickups are drop-in replacements for most standard P90 routes.

Pair this model with any of the P90 Silencer bridge pickups for a well-balanced set and classic P90 tone.

HOT (Bridge and Set):

P90s have always been somewhat of an insider’s pickup. Those in the know recognized the P90 as the bridge between single coil and humbucker tones. With the bright and articulate treble tones you’d expect from a single coil and, due to their shape, also the warmer rounded tone that gets close to what you want from a humbucker. But, because P90s are single coils, they also bring the noise. The innovative noiseless design of our Hot P90 Silencer retains all the tone and appearance of the classic P90 pickup without the 60-cycle hum.

The Hot P90 Silencer is a hotter version offering a more aggressive sound. These pickups are drop-in replacements for most standard P90 routes.

VINTAGE (Bridge and Set):

P90’s have always been somewhat of an insider’s pickup. Those in the know recognized the P90 as the bridge between single coil and humbucker tones. With the bright and articulate treble tones you’d expect from a single coil and, due to their shape, also the warmer rounded tone that gets close to what you want from a humbucker.
