Monty's Guitars '54 P90 Soapbar Black Pickups Set
「Monty's Guitars」 is a high-end pickup brand originating from London, UK. Founder 「Matt Gleeson」 thoroughly analyzed vintage pickups and reconstructed their tone for modern players, delivering the highest performance regardless of genre. Not only are they meticulously hand-wound one by one, but the lineup also includes wiring kits made with premium parts and natural fingerboard care wax.
MION has been captivated by the high technical skill evident in Monty's work rewinds and restoration of vintage pickups—a skill considered extremely rare worldwide. As the first authorized domestic retailer to accept orders and officially sell Monty's pickups, MION will continue its efforts to promote and expand sales of Monty's products.
The 「'54 P90」 is a model based on two vintage pickups: the 「P90」 mounted on a 1954 Gibson Les Paul that Monty's encountered during vintage pickup repair work, and the 「P90」 from an Epiphone Century from the mid-1960s.
Among the many examples Monty's has seen, the two vintage pickups they consider the highest caliber were particularly valued for their overwhelming clarity. While retaining the thick tone guitarists expect from a P90, the midrange is modest, and the output is lower than many modern P90s. Monty's has faithfully reflected these characteristics in this 「'54 P90」 model, suppressing the typically nasal, quirky character and delivering an exceptionally versatile sound. The response to delicate touch is also excellent, featuring an open, airy midrange with sufficient bite.
Naturally, given the lineage of the 「'54 P90,」 it pairs exceptionally well with 「Les Paul Jr.」 and 「Les Paul Special」 type guitars. If you're seriously pursuing the classic sound of a Junior or Special, this pickup is the optimal solution.
Like the original vintage pickups, no wax potting has been applied. This ensures maximum resolution and response.
