Vintage Spec Replacement P90 Pickup based on the original early '50s design
Vintage Spec Replacement P90 Pickup based on the original early '50s design now in a choice of magnet options and available in either Dogear or Soapbar style Covers
Slightly lower output than the '57 and with a little less attack it has increased clarity & definition. This is my brighter P90 similar to the old pickups of the early '50s. Rounder in sound than a traditional Strat or Tele single coil with that fatter, grittier, warmer P90 voice part way between a single-coil and humbucker the Classic '53 P90 pickup won't drive an amp as much as the '57 P90, staying cleaner sounding.
The Alnico 2 being a slightly weaker magnet than the 4 or 5, helps to give an overall warmer, more vintage style voice - Alnico 3 sweeter still. A great P90 pickup for those jazzier sounds where warmth, sweetness and string definition are all balanced. The stonger Alnico 5 magnets help to give a brighter attack with a little more punch.
Three-Way wire with separate ground for the metal parts. Available in Soapbar or Dogear style.

A higher output than my Classic '53 that gives a fatter, fuller body P90 sound with that dirt & grit when driven - a little warmer with real attack, grunt and definition. A great lead P90 sound for a bridge position pickup with a sweeter warmth in the neck.
The Alnico 2 being a slightly weaker magnet than the 4 or 5, helps to give an overall warmer, more vintage style voice - Alnico 3 sweeter still. A great P90 pickup for punchier sounds where attack, crunch and string definition are all balanced. The stonger Alnico 5 magnets help to give a brighter attack with a little more punch.

Creamery Custom & Alternative Design P90 Pickups
Custom '13 (Dogear Only)
Magnets Trio of Custom Made Magnets. Alnico 2 or 5 Bar & Alnico 5 Threaded Rods Coil Wire 42AWG Lead Wire Simple 3-Way or 4-way Bridge Output 8.4k 
Custom Designed with Bernard Sumner of Joy Division / New Order
Classic PAF on the higher G, B & e strings, much more clarity & string definition under the E, A & D
Three types of custom magnets for crunchy, crisp, clear & defined lower strings - sweeter, creamier, milkier higher strings for a richer sound. Custom designed with Bernard Sumner of Joy Division / New Order.
We worked on the design of this pickup together when he wanted something edgier from the Gibson LP Jnr Double Cutaway he picked up. He has a number of vintage guitars (and old Vox amps) but wanted something different for the new live dates and recording. We spent time playing his old original Gibson ES 330 that just sounded perfect, just a really sweet yet gritty sound that really snarled when pushed. It has Dogear P90s but they just had something more than the standard P90 sound but the two issues he had where, it had just been too precious to take out on tour for a number of years and with it having single coil P90s, it hummed, both live and in the studio with all the synths & equipment. In comparison, his Gibson SG and the early 90s LP Jnr he picked up just sounded a little sterile in comparison.
Clearer, more defined E, A & D strings - Creamier, Warmer G, B & E strings
So the task was not to recreate the sound of the ES 330 but take its characteristics and make a similar Dogear P90 size pickup to fit the new LP Jnr that kept the colour and edge to the sound but with clearer, more defined and ‘punkier' lower E, A & D strings whilst somehow being warmer, creamier & milkier on the higher G, B & E strings. So rather than try and make some kind of hum-cancelling P90 we decided to just start again from scratch and make a new design of pickup to balance these two ideas, clearer, more defined & crunchier E, A & D strings whilst somehow being able to roll off the treble slightly on the higher G, B & E strings for less of a single coil sound and more towards the richer, fuller humbucker sound. To get the crisper, crunchier lower notes in a humbucker often means less coil and a lower output which can give the higher strings more treble - the task was to reconcile these two ideas, clear, crunchier lower strings with warmer highs with a higher output to push the amp a little more.
This is where the unique design came about after a few different prototypes - Individual sets of custom made & sized threaded rod magnets of opposing polarity and different strengths underneath the lower E, A & D strings with a double pole humbucker design underneath the G, B & E strings, again with custom made magnets hidden away underneath the offset coils for these strings. Outputwise, we wanted it to really push his naturally brighter vintage VOX AC30 amps for a really attacking, edgier sound.
Road Testing on Tour
He took the final prototype out on tour and chose to showcase the new design live onstage as they played their first new material in years at the Lollapalooza festival (I was streaming it live)
After the gigs, and with the pickup performing well onstage he asked me to make a bridge & neck humbucker sized set to the same spec for his ’62 SG.
He took these back out on the road and gave them a good road test on the short US tour later that month and his final review was
Back home now and gave the pickups a good trial on tour. Verdict fantastic! Improved both my guitars. The humbuckers have bags of tone and character! The old Gibson ones sound cold and neutral in comparison. Totally pleased. You’ve sure done something right and well impressed the band, me and the crew! I’ve been bigging you up to everyone!"
A great replacement humbucker for P90 Bridge Dogear Pickups if you're looking for a fatter, grittier, dirtier, crunchier alternative sound.
Magnet Options
The magnets under the lower E, A & D strings are custom sized, custom made threaded Alnico 5 whereas the lower G, B & E strings can have either Alnico 2 or the stronger Alnico 5 - Alnico 2, being a little weaker 'holds' the strings a little less, allowing them to vibrate a little more, adding a little more warmth to the overall sound whereas Alnico 5, being that bit stronger, 'holds' the strings a little more for a little brighter attack & focus.
Available in Black or Cream Dogear Covers

Clarity, Definition, Sparkle and Versatility
The True Wide Range sound in a Dogear Bridge size
Classic fat single coil sound - Great clarity and string definition with a bright chime & warmth.
Individual threaded pole magnets charged to around 2/3rds capacity allow you to dial in each string. A warmer mid-range than standard single coils and with a higher output, they're great for breaking up an amp. With a great fat bridge tone sounding akin to a "doubled-up" Tele and a neck with a warm, sweet brightness, these Wide Range / Thinline Humbucker style pickups are a great if you're looking for something more to replace a standard humbucker.
As with all my humbucker pickups, the coils are asymmetrically wound to custom specifications giving more dynamics, clarity & string definition and a richer overall sound.
Slightly brighter with a tighter bass response that my full-size Classic '71 Wide Range / Thinline Humbucker repros due to the slightly narrower coil and lower output.

Great string definition & clarity due to the dual Alnico blade magnets. More of a crunchy "Doubled up" hum-cancelling sound than the fat single coil voice of my classic P90, these new P90 sized dual blade Humbucker Pickups give a rich, crunchy and bright attack. More of a Firebird sound than a traditional Gibson/PAF Humbucker with 42AWG Coil Wire - a fatter, hotter, more Mid-Range sound with thinner 43AWG.

Warmer, classic humbucker designs with the option of more traditional 6 visible pole screws and hidden steel slugs under the cover or 12 visible pole screws.

The higher output version uses specific 43AWG coil wire to balance output whist still keeping clarity & that fat brightness and attacking single-coil sound - just fatter & fuller.
I've spent a lot on these, changing the size of the Alnico 5 threaded magnets and bobbin size a number of times to get these just right. If you're after that bright, fat crunch, chime & sparkle from a standard P90 size then the Sonic-Six pickups may be just the ones for you.

I don't have pickups all boxed up ready to send out, each order is custom made which means I can modify the specifications to suit you, your playing and your guitar.
It really means a lot
Back home now and gave the pickups a good trial on tour. Verdict fantastic! Improved both my guitars. The humbuckers have bags of tone and character! The old Gibson ones sound cold and neutral in comparison. Totally pleased. You’ve sure done something right and well impressed the band, me and the crew! I’ve been bigging you up to everyone!
Shall be breaking it in tonight at the Olympic Stadium Barcelona... I gave it a quick blast during soundcheck through Matts rig and both me and Jason (Matts tech) agreed it sounded pretty damn good…
Loving the sound of the pickup combinations..definitely doing all the things I hoped and more...have a feeling its going to see a lot of use in the studio as well as live...
I LOVE that P90, Jaime. Such a great sounding pickup.
Thanks Jamie. Great Bluesier sound. Been using it in the studio.
The Casino is sounding amazing through the tremolux! It's a beast thanks to you. Couldn't be happier with the sound Jaime. Guitars on the new record are a great ad for your work sir - Edwyn and Seb LOVED the sounds!!
Fancy a wee plug on the sleeve??
I installed the pickups on friday and they sound great. the sound is excellent with plenty of definition.These are just the pickups i was looking for. Thanks again
Hi Jaime, Just got my Lp Jr back from the tech who installed the p90 and had a jam session with a full band last night with it - absolutely delighted with the tone and clarity. Was just the sort of sound I was after, Thanks a million for everything! Will be in touch in the future as i have my eye on a mustang/jag/jazzy which I’m sure i won’t be happy with the stock pickups in :p Thanks again Jaime
Hi Jaime, Pick ups are in and sound like a dream - exactly as I had hoped. Excited to play new guitar with these beasts next weekend in Paris for their live debut :)
UPDATE: Love these pick-ups so much! going to have to deck out all my guitars with them :) Great live and on recordings too!
Just wanted to let you know, received pickups couple weeks ago and have put them in my project. Gotta tell you, they are really nice. Respond to picking attack like crazy, and articulate? Wow, clear as a bell! Strum a chord and you can hear all the notes! Love them!
The Casino P90's I had from you recently are just wicked, so much better than the Epiphone's.
First of all, thank you very much for the p90s, they sound great !!!! Even better than I thought it would ! this is just amazing.
The P90 pickup is truly excellent the tones are just what I was looking for. thank you very much.
I got to let you know I just installed a pair of your classic '57 p90s into my LP and I am thoroughly impressed!
I recently bought a P90 sized Fat Humbucker (neck pickup) from you and absolutely love it, thanks for that!! I'm now looking to get a replacement bridge ;-)
First impressions are very good. Not like a full size PAF but excellent sounding. Thanks a lot for all your excellent service!
I just wanted to thank you for the p90s you made me. They fitted the Tokai like a glove, and they sound great. It's hard to put my finger on the sound. They still do clean better than other humbuckers, but handle gain (even high gain) fantastic. Oh and the best think is that they are noise free! It's great to be able to play my guitar without be offended by the buzz. I know some can't live without the noise but I don't feel like a lost anything sound wise, on the contrary I've just gained on all accounts!
Thank you very much! I know who to turn to next time!
Really pleased with how it's sounding in the guitar,
The guitar sings beautifully now. Keep up the good work, Jaime!
Sound absolutely incredible!
Just wired the pickups in and they sound FANTASTIC. Really authentic Tele tone and the P90 in the middle gives a great boost to the output when I need it. I've wired the middle out of phase so it's got some great Strat-like sounds too! Will try to get some pictures in the daylight as the artificial lighting at home doesn't do it justice. Thanks again! Cheers
I’ve now got both pickups installed, one in a LP junior and the other in a custom made Cabronita Tele and they both sound very good indeed! Thank you.
I bought a couple of tele pickups from you a while ago, and i love them. Theyre incredible! In fact i love them so much, that i’m planning on eventually purchasing pickups from you for my other two guitars in the future!
Just to let you know I got the pickups yesterday. I’ve fitted them and they are the business. They’re both great and work really well together (two peas in a pod), but the neck pickup in particular is absolutely bang on. So much more clarity and umph over the old P90. ‘Another Brick in the Wall solo’, sharp. Brilliant. Thanks very much for dealing with my difficultness. Absolute quality and great customer service. I’ll recommend you when and wherever I can. Very happy.
The pickup is sounding really good, very pleased with it, it’s got some great sustain in it and it really responds under drive. I think it really brings the actual tonewood out as well. I though it cleans and warms up really nicely, so I also put a couple more clean tones down.
Finally I am hearing my telecaster sounding exactly like it should, it's really quite magic and the pickups are singing with gritty glory. My tech has been won over, so hopefully you'll find some more orders coming in from Notts. Keep doing what you do! All the best.
Just to say I finally found time to fit the pickup. It genuinely sounds amazing and has rescued a beautiful guitar that I just felt I was going to have to sell. This has given the guitar the beautiful single coil sound I was looking for with the versatility to fatten things up a bit for a texas blues sound. The guitar retains its own character so compliments my other guitars beautifully. Thanks so much
Just wanted to let you know that I received the pickups and installed them. They sound incredible! Myself and my luthier and my band are all pretty much blown away by the quality. Unbelievably clear and articulate. Amazing job. Thank you very much,
I Just installed a set of your pups (P90-neck and over-wound tele in the bridge position) on a tele thin line. The owner of the guitar was ecstatic, He loves the sounds.
Purchased some tele p90 pick-ups from you about a year ago and they are dangerous!
I have just re-installed the new pups (got the hot and ground mixed up). I can say they have completed my SG. Your pups match the sound in my head and for that I thank you. I can't wait to get back later to run them through the entire rig and see what sounds I can get.
Installed your pickup on Friday and noticed an immediate improvement. Did an A/B with my historic doublecut junior and they are very close. Yours seems a little brighter with better definition on the bass end, and overall makes a great improvement to the ‘57. Gigged it on Saturday and was complemented on my sound so all is good. Thanks.
I went to take the guitar back this morning from the luthier, and what can I say? They sound great, are awesome! Thanks, thanks a lot!
Hi Jaime. Just wanted to say thank you. Pick ups arrived yesterday morning (saturday), I fitted them straight away and as your reputation was so good , I took a chance and actually gigged with them last night with no back up whatsoever.
All I can say is AWESOME, So clear and just improved the sound 500 percent. Cheers mate, I will spread the word...
I'm replying to let you know that the new p90 humbuckers you made finally got fitted, The Pickups are great!
I had a few issues with the guitar I was installing them into, I wanted to get that fixed at the same time so it took a while to get the guitar back. They sound wonderful, great clarity and Chime but with a nice fuller humbuckers sound which is nice and warm. I had the guitar coil split so I could take full advantage of all the possible sounds available through the pickups, really great!
I'm thrilled with the P-90 sized humbucker you made for me
Hi Jaime,The pickups sound wonderful, many thanks :)
Hi Jaime, Just put it in today and it sounds KILLER!!!!
Very articulate and clear, even with heavy overdrive. It can get nasty as hell, but does the clean chime thing very nicely as well.
I'm tempted to rip the HB's out of my SG... You make an awesome product my friend!!!!
Hiya Jaime, I just got my guitars back a couple of days ago with the new pickups. They're a MASSIVE improvement in every way! Both sets are fuller, louder and more responsive, just a great set of pickups!
Hi Jaime, I just wanted to drop you a quick email to say thank you for the P90 Sized Fat Humbucker I just received.
I got it as a replacement for a slightly wild p90 that came in the bridge of my baritone, the pickup fitted in the space left by the old pickup perfectly and I now have that lovely tight and focused sound I was after!
Thanks once again and keep up the good work,
Dear Jaime, I have got my Custom Shop 50s Gold Top back from Charlie Chandler, with the two pick ups you made, installed. They sound better than I imagined possible, the PAF is fantastic and the p90 balances with it beautifully, together they sound great too. I love closely voiced pick ups and this pair are subtly different and switching from neck to bridge or back the change in extremely useful authentic tone is pure magic. Thank you very much, you have created a masterpiece! All the Best David.
Just to let you know I got the pickups fitted, eventually, yesterday. I have a full rehearsal tonight, but even with 5 mins at home I can tell that these pups are gems!! They'll be staying in the guitar for sure.
BTW, I had a local guys fit them for me, Robert van der Linde, who was RAVING about your pickups! I don't know of you know him, but he's been a guitar builder in the past (Cadillac Guitars) and he' starting up again, saying he will use your pickups.
I bought a set of P90s from you a couple of months ago, unfortunately my guitar repairman has been quite ill so it has taken a while to get them fitted. They are now fitted. They have transformed the guitar and it sounds mighty! If I upgrade anything else in the future, you'll be my first port of call.
Man, what I have to say is: what a incredible sound!!! I do not know what kind of magic you did but all I know it sounded great! Well worth the wait. Thank You so much.
The '61 Casino PU's are absolutely amazing
You rock! My P90 made me not looking further, it's amazing!
Dear Jaime, First of all, these pups ROCK!! I love them, they have delivered more than I expected. I really like the no 2 and 4 positions for cleans/dirty cleans, and 1,3 and 5 for higher gain settings.
Hi Jamie. Just put the pickups in my casino. Wow man! Great job. Dynamics are great, the bridge has got evil bite!! Way cool!
I can tell you that they sound magnificent!
They really retain the character of an normal single coil, but fatter. In an ideal world I would perhaps want even more of the P90, but the Strat-90s still gives me the "strattyness" a P90 would not. So basically they are something in between a P90 and a strat single coil, and that was just what I was looking for. The 2 and 4 positions sound as the should, but I find that I use the bridge and the neck the most. They have that beefier sound that I would more expect from a P90. I haven't been able to use the bridge before in this guitar with high gain, so I very happy with the sound. I did retain the 250k pots, and I felt that was a good choice, 500k would have been too bright.
Put them in yesterday, guitar needed to settle after being stripped down and having a different brand of strings on. Sounded pretty good last night, they sounded superb today.
Most noticeably the dynamics of them, play gently with your fingers and they are totally clean, give t!hem some stick with a thick plectrum and they roar without changing any amp settings.
Very clear sounding, just what I wanted. I can now do clean blues to classic rock just by altering my picking, amazing. For me they are the perfect balance between a Strat single coil and a humbucker.
Hi jaime, I got it last thursday, had a couple of rehearsals and i can say I’m really satisfied with it. the sound is sharp, punchy, convex, bright enough and chimey enough, and very responsive to dynamics of strumming

Hi Jaime, I have just re-installed the new pups (got the hot and ground mixed up). Only had 5 minutes to run them through the amp but from that 5 minutes I can say they have completed my SG. Your pups match the sound in my head and for that I thank you. I can't wait to get back later to run them through the entire rig and see what sounds I can get.
Hi Jamie, I put the p90 in and it sounds great!
The humbucker is a vast improvement on the stock one, it has clarity and attack without being too harsh, and when split gives a fantastic Tele bridge pick up tone.
The P90 mixes well with the humbucker, and has that great smooth P90 sound. Altogether I'm damn happy with them.
thanks for the pickups. I received them yesterday and installed them today. They sound awesome. Compared to my 'Crafted in Japan' ones they sound a lot fuller.
I got the pickup today and I got it on my 1960 TV Junior right away and it was as brilliant as I thought. Nice body and clarity. Nice response to turning down on the guitar volume pot.
Hi Jaime, After some band inactivity thru the Summer months I have finally started to use your sublimely voiced 1957 chrome dogear P90's you made for my 1997 Korean Epi Casino.
The tonality is inspired and these little works of art have made this cheap guitar really shine.
I play 50's style vintage blues and have a bunch of great old 50's guitars that are now taking a back seat, as my nitro-fueled Casino has such a range of warm jump sounds melded with some real gnarly bridge tones that it's become my current go-to for studio and gigs.
Just wanted to say thanks for the perfect pair! I am so happy with these '57's and would certainly highly recommend The Creamery to anyone. It's great to support a UK builder too. Very best mate!
Hey Jaime - Pickups sound great! Definitely gives me a different palette of sounds compared tomy my previous set up! Thanks again!
Hi Jamie, All worked fine, pup is in! It sounds really good, very impressed! Thanks for the help,
Great stuff. Thanks so much!! They’re a massive improvement! I’m not generally a P90 guy, but they sound fantastic. That syrupy Another Brick in the Wall solo tone is just right there.. :D
Pickups fitted and they sound fantastic
The P90 sized Humbuckers sound beautiful! Many thanks
Earthquake again? No! Your Humbucker sized P90 pickup shakes this house, Thanks.
Just great pickups. Brought my Epiphone Goldtop to life. Thanks.
Thanks for the custom P90s, they sound fantastic
Just wanted to say thanks for the work done on this fantastic neck P90. The Alnico 4 & the low vintage wind matches perfectly with the TV jones Classic in the bridge. I've tried a few P90's in the guitar and this is one that finally gives it the voice it deserves. Plummy / flutey on its own and THE perfect rhythm sound when mixed with the humbucker, seriously couldn't be happier with it.
