You love the P90 tone and you would like it in your Strat. What you don't want is two or three awkward looking soapbar pickups on the guard. You would rather retain the classic Strat look but still have P90 tone. Well folks, here's the solution: S-90 Simulcaster Pickups by JJ's Guitar Pickups. Ben wound these guys for me and sent me a beautifully loaded guard and he can do that for you too if you wish. The sound? You be the judge. I love them. They give me the extra punch, snarly mids and grainy quality that are common qualities of P90's, but now they're on a Strat where the ergonomics are different to, say, a Les Paul Junior or Special, and the combination is fantastic. Have a listen and let me know what you think.

The problem is a long known one. Everything Brett plays sounds great. From the sound I hear at my PC these are a must have for me. So different, but beautiful. But then there's Brett. Seriously.
You are very kind. Thank you. 🙏🏻
LOL so true 😂
Thanks again, Brett. Magnificent job, I'm glad you like them. For folks looking, these are a not a noiseless pickup, just a single coil with a few tricks deployed to keep them as quiet as possible, for a single coil. We think they rip! Look out for HB-90 and T-90 in 2024, we're working on those right now!
I've got to have this!!
Truly spectacular! I have a Strat with a pair of Fralin hum-cancelling P90s, but there's one big in-between position rather than the typical positions 2 and 4 of a Strat. It looks cool because it's different, but I'm thinking that I can find a home for a set of Simulcasters too.
Nailed it. And no noise! Incredible.
That's unique! Not seen that done before. Sounds killer!
I hadn't seen anything like that before either. Killer pickups. Thanks for watching, Simon!
Just great!!!
That guitar deserved a proper test on a hiwatt❤️
What a gamechanger. I might have to give them a go! I love my JJ's Tele pickups
Wow...impressive. Nice demo on these !
They really sound great. Love P90s. Great to hear how low noise they are. Nice looking Strat too!
Geez, they do sound great! Love the clean tones, lead too of course.
Well done! Cheers from STE!
Wow!
That's the exact tone i hope for bringing my old guitsr out of the closet. Got in touch with Ben, on the way to getting my set up just like this Brett. stoked and very impressive tones. Yahoo double thumbs up if i could
and it's the mids that sold me on them too. guitar needs to sit nicely in mix with mids.
Nice. Good snarly growl. Also liked it with the Princeton, which made it easier to keep it clean.
sick riffs old mate
Nasty & sweet!
Theyre a gd set Burgs.. Ben does some great work..
Haven't got a Strat but l like that.
These sound great! Love the sound with the neck and bridge together .
I've already emailed Ben. Outstanding! 👍🤘
Great sound! And, always enjoy your playing Brett. I'm going to look into purchasing a set for a custom build. Thanks!
I reckon you'll love them, Joe. All the best.
Awesome playing Brett ❤ 🎸 great sounding pickups
Thank you, my friend. I hope all is well in your part of the world.
I put a set of Ben‘s P90 in my Les Paul special. They are fantastic! Really curious to see how these would fit in one of my strats.
Wt tone, my friend. Big sound.
Sounds excellent 👍
Awesome!!
Man these things sound so nice and plinky in positions 2 and 4. I have been looking for a set to replace my awful EMG Gilmour set and these could be the winner.
Mate l got a set of soapbars p90s from Ben (JJs).. for my LP Special cdnt be happier.. hook in l rekn!
@@baabaabaa-yp2jh come to think of it, I would love to replace the EMGs in my LTD LP as well, and have a great wen wanting a good set of soap bars for it. Another guitar I love that is almost ruined by bad active pickups. I use a lot of upward expansion with them when I play them, and they feel as dynamic as normal pickups, but I usuly use my SIM 1 XT1 to simulate p90s, becasue EMG tone is difficult to deal with. :)
@@lorenmorgan1931 I'm with you there mate, lve never owned anything with actives in, but played a cpl...
Theyre gd for hitting the front of the amp, but l agree lack dynamics, unless processed, they're not for me.
Bucker sized p90s? SD do Phat Cats, Mojotone do a gd p90 that will fit, they do a great Dynasonic + rings (but for Gretsch Electromatics, not sure if the size is the same as an EMG or PAF?
If you're in Australia, look up Murray's pickups, he does some good gear & Mr Glynns in NZ too.
Best of luck with it mate.👍
@@baabaabaa-yp2jh EMGs are a matter of taste. I have four guitars loaded with them and they are perfect for jam sessions or those rare (for me) gigs where the backline is hired. They'll punch through any mix and clean up using the volume knob very consistently over the whole frequency range. They do tend to compress the sound a bit which gets more noticeable the cleaner your tone is. I like a lot of classic rock grind thus they suit me well. If I want detailed picking dynamics I choose a different guitar (I'm fortunate to have a large and varied collection).
@@kevinjohnbettsyeah mate, l rekn l said they're not for me... you on the other hand sound happy with em.
Onya..ea to their own
Damn...I want 😊
Fabuloso... que som incrível... sério...
❤sound killer
OMG, snap. I love P90's, my current favourites. but, a strat with P90's? yuck. it kills the really sweet open stringy bright strat tones. BUT, the tones out of these pickups are epic. I agree they sound P90 plus sweet strat tones. Amazing. well done JJ
oh, and very nice playing too Brett
Sweet
This is genius!!
Phat tone. I'm building baritone parts guitar, these might be nice for it.
Okay, Wow has already been used.
🤔 Hmmm.... All right, here goes:
Well, Gah Daaamn!
rippin'
Hey Brett, how would you rate these pickups vs JJ's Fat Toney set? I'm on the fence about which one to get 🤔 thanks!!
Is this company still making pickups? The link does not work.
Are those pickups just overwound single coils, or are they built like real p90's with two Aknico magnets? C8 magnets? What kind of magnet is that?
😁👍👍
😎✌👍❤🖖
👍🇦🇹😁🤠👌
