Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The gold SPH90-1N Phat Cat puts a true single-coil P90 into a humbucker-cover format for humbucker-equipped guitars. As the neck model, it is voiced for P90 bounce and sparkle, with bright ringing harmonics in chords and classic cut and edge for solos. Two Alnico 2 bar magnets bring added sustain and a compressed attack. Its metal cover also adds shielding and noise reduction over standard soapbar covers.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Humbucker-equipped guitars needing a neck-position P90 in humbucker-cover format
- Players pairing neck and bridge Phat Cats for noiseless operation together
- Chord work seeking bright ringing overtones and solos needing P90 cut and edge
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars that are not humbucker-equipped.
- Players looking for a humbucker rather than a true single-coil P90.
