Vintage P-90's from the '50s were very special because of their vocal and dynamic qualities, with bold highs that breathe with clarity. The only problem was the 60-cycle hum and for today's player, 60-cycle hum can be unbearable at times. Mojotone's patent-applied-for '56 Quiet Coil hum-cancelling P-90 delivers all of that vintage goodness of a coveted 1956 P-90 without ever compromising tone or feel.

Our approach was very simple, to make a P-90 pickup that sounds like a real vintage P-90 without the hum. ‘56 Quiet Coil™ P-90 pickups are passive and only use the parts and materials found in original vintage 1956 P-90 pickups. Vintage spec 42 gauge coil wire, lower Gauss Alnico magnets, adjustable polepieces, and vintage braided leads.

No PC boards, batteries, stacked coils, or anything else associated with other hum-canceling pickups were used in our design. The result is simply the most pure and authentic P-90 tone possible, with absolutely no loss of true single coil P-90 tone. Cranked, they are big and bold with a classic grind that pulsates with the amplifier like a sophisticated sounding P-90. Roll back the volume to get a sweet clean tone of a vintage P-90 without losing clarity or treble.

Quiet Coil Design Features:

  • Consistent scatterwound coils for that handwound tone, sensitivity, and clarity.
  • Vintage formulated Alnico magnet cores with lower Gauss levels like an aged vintage P-90 pickup.
  • Vintage braided leads for easy push-back soldering.
  • No routing modifications are required to fit shallow vintage routs like the taller stacked hum-cancelling designs.
  • Less parts are used to build the Quiet Coils compared to other designs. Like a vintage P-90 pickup, they are SIMPLE!

Great P90’s for your sweet guitar !

by Jimmy Jet -

I’ve been looking for a P90 that has full tone without the hum. With the amount of guitars that are built with P90’s in them, the team at MojoTone has step up the game with the most desirable P90’s to replace stock pickups in them. If you want “ tone “ go get MojoTone pickups ! I did ! 3 sets and those MojoTone pickups will be in them Les Pauls permanently !

You want the Missisippi Queen sound with no noise then get this pickup!!!

by Greg H -

This is the third one of these I have purchased ....it did exactly what I wanted I loved the sound of the stock one however the noise did not work for me where I play at most of the time which is sports bars and such .....this did the trick and even sounded better ....more Leslie West -Mick Ralphs than the stock one ever did !! No Squealing either except for the good kind !!! Thank you for such a great product !!
