I vote for the P90. But it was not a fair shootout , cause neck mounted is a totally other sound than bridge mounted. So the single coil had no chance to win :-)
I never even tried P90s for years because I thought they looked cheap. But then about ten years ago I played my buddies LP with P90 and there is no going back now. I love them. The first set was GFS Dream 90s that are the same size as a HB. I put those in my LP and man oh man. Nice comparison. Thanks Mike.
GOOD STUFF , But the true comparison would be better if all the pickups were in the same position . that single coil (or any pickup ) being up by the neck ads alot of warmth to the tone , Thus not really a fair or accurate comparison. but they do all sound great . ;-)
Oh Man...Welcome BACK Mike - sure have missed 3 String Thursday since your Awesome mini 'Farewell to 2020' Concert back in December! SO looking forward to Thursdays again!!! GREAT comparison...can't pick out a TRUE favourite...put that P-90 played Dirty sounds pretty friggin' Amazing!!! Cheers Mike...can't wait 'till NEXT week!!!
COOL MAN👍🏻LONG LIVE 3 STRINGS 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 I have a killer cigar box guitar with humbucker (neck position) and simply circuit with volume and tone. With orange crush 12 the sound is pure magic..LOVE IT!!!
I got completely lucky. I found a CBG on Facebook marketplace last year for $60. They said it was won in a fundraiser silent auction and was barely played because they didn't know how. It was a Snowden #1145.

Thought I would like the humbucker from the start but I like dirty and the P90 did it for me 🎸 Thanks Mike !
Thanks Mike for this video
Instructive to hear the different pick-up :)

P90s were born for CBG's... but was unfair comparison with the single coil in the neck position

You are the best Mike would be nice to have one of those 3 string sigar box guitar's
Keep up the good stuff
Single Coil was super muddy. Single Coils in my Strat are bright ie SRV
Man, that blue New Orleans with the P90 sure does look familiar. Thanks again Mike! 😀

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!!
It's hard to pick a favorite. They all sounded great!👍😎🎸🎶
Nice builds Mike like your channel
nice MR.Mike
Mike that p90 is the business! Do you make these pickups?
I will go with the Humbucker
Yea me to but the...Single Coil....l don't know man...?
Where you order p90 for cigar box, thinking to upgrade my balalaika with it)))
What about Piezo?
humbucker link ??
The single coil is the only one in the neck position.
Where I can order P90 pickup?
Single coil for the W
P90 for the win. How can a soap bar sound so dirty in a good way?
l guess the Humbucker.....Single Coil ?....l don't know man...Close call...!
mike as soon as i get my stimmy I'm buying a three string

Humbucker by a country mile - in my opinion.
You're high, right? 😂
And I guess I'd prefer a mixture of the P90 and a single coil sound...
