Often when I say to myself "oh you can make that" I watch someone doing it and decide "oh you can just buy it". P90's are tonal perfection I do believe. Great video.
I recently finished putting together a mahogany Strat body and mahogany/Indian Rosewood Warmoth neck with Dylan P90 Soap Bars. They sound fantastic. I went with Dylan's recommended pots and caps which I believe were 500K and .022Uf I've put together five other guitars that I stuffed with various mfg's premium pickups. I keep coming back to these P90s.
hi dylan. i have been making my own pickups for a couple years. thanks for this video. helped simplify a couple things. very much appreciated. rock on dude...
Great video! Thanks for sharing this. So, what next? How about splittable coils versus tapped coils. I want something that is good for clean tones and overwound for higher output.
Hi Dylan!! I missed the live. I enjoyed watching you make your soap bars P90s. I have a set but haven't purchased the guitar for them yet. They'll go into an EPI Wilshire. Thank you.
9:16 pm Monday On the Recap.... @DylanTalksTone I'm HAPPY to own A Set of your P90's pick-up's! I'm waiting on other parts for my next Guitar Project. I already know your HAND MADE PICKUP'S Number 1 in my Book 📖 Thank You For Sharing Your Work of Art 🎶
How much resistance are shooting for on the P90's I love the way they sound even though I don't own a guitar with P90's ....Yet! Nice video, thank you.
So cool Dylan! (Hope you ship to Europe 😉) I’ll be buying one soon for a Jr project I’m going to begin. PS. I think it would be to your advantage if you post a bunch more videos with demos of the sound of your pickups. At the moment there are very few but your pickups are definitely worth marketing a lot more they sound amazing! Regards, /Vincent 🇸🇪
Hello Dylan. I have a 335 with coil-tap P90s and I want to put a regular volume inplace of the push-pull bournes pot. I just want the bridge P90 full on without tap and using a CTS pot. How can I do this, I just want a regular volume pot on the bridge? Any help would be appreciated. I could probably figure it out but I wanted to gather as much info as possible. Thanks.
I wonder if anyone has ever done a P90 with a steel base plate? Or even like a Jaguar style claw. Not sure if it would be worth doing or sound good but could be a fun experiment.
I'm at something of a loss. I don't have a guitar routed for P90s. The P94s Dylan made for me are divine, so I can only presume the flagship pickups are better.
You could do that but it wouldnt work as well. The mag would saturate one side more and less on the other side of the winding. If you were to change the north/south orientation of the magnet and install the mag sideways thru the center of the coil then it would work.
Many pickup winding companies/techs are now saying that the Red Mojotone pickup winding machine, Schatten Pro pickup winder, PreAsion Electronic coil winder, Terp53 winder, and other modern pickup winders don't wind the pickups like the older gibson Meteor and fender Bespoke custom make ones because those wound the pickup wire around the bobbin which had a certain "tension" and the inductance signatures were different. The meteor is period correct tension and inductance signatures that the other pickup winders can't do. There is no one that Red Mojotone pickup winder can get period correct tension and inductance signatures just like the 50's and 60's P90, PAF, Firebird pickups. I would do a massive recall on all your pickups because of massive snakeoil of not winding those pickups to the correct tension and inductance signatures to be period correct like fender and gibson.
@@DylanTalksTone Jon Gundry actually Cares, not you of course don't care. Jon Gundry said 100% you can't get wind pickups like the Meteor unless you build a very complex programmable CNC pickup winder that can do the same thing the Meteor winder can do.
@waynegram8907 make me a video where you play one against the other Ala blind taste test, see how many out of 1000 can pick up the switches and tell them apart, then I'll care
I don't think Dylan ever claimed that his p90 is period correct. He makes a pup with great vintage tone and that is what's important. That's not snake oil. He's not claiming one thing and selling something else. His claims is that they sound great, which they do. BTW vintage pups were inconsistent. His aren't. Should he make his inconsistent to be "period correct"? Sheesh.
Quick question… why do some people like Ron Ellis charge $250 EACH for pickups ? While you charge fairly for a great product? I’m genuinely curious why others charge more than double the standard
So it's definitely your saliva and the number of times you put the wire in your mouth that gives them their superb tone. That's why they can't be replicated either. Ha. Seriously though, great video and I'll be ordering some for my next build.
I have a Chinese Epi Casino...the only thing stopping me from replacing the pickups is access to the harness. I'm seriously thinking of cutting the back to gain access with a custom hatch. Seriously Epiphone, add some modern conveniences so I don't have to mod every guitar again and again.
A more purist artesanal way would have been winding these by hand to give them a warmer sound and a step ahead of Josefinas pick ups to make them more unique
Ummm no. No one hand winds pickups. Not even Joephina at Fender. So, what are you talking about? It wouldn't take that to make a better pickup. Why would you think it would?
Interesting, thanks for showing this. Seems quite tedious. I bet you lock the door and turn off your cell phone to avoid interruptions. Need to get a pair someday.
Make sure you use your mouth to tie your wire, just like Dylan. Its called tone spit. It helps your pick-up match the vibration of human genitals. Thats what makes guitar players seem more attractive than we really are. Trade secrets.
I need to get a pair of these. I’ve got an SG I love the neck feel of, but not the humbuckers in it. I want to rout out space for p90s and get a replacement pickguard to route out to fit, I’d love to have these pickups in it. I don’t really want the humbucker sized p90s, I want these 🙂
What are the Best p90's ? If you can tell me the best p90 I'll call you a lier. Lol The way we word things surely can keep us out of trouble, no accountability.
Why was this called "how to make the best p90", it should be called "how to make a p90". No info on wire gauge (42} or number of turns (10000). That's 18 mins of my life wasted. Thumbs down and unsubscribed.
Mad respect for showing exactly how you make your product, which is your livelihood. No BS.

P90s in the neck are probably my favorite sounds on a guitar.... great through a fuzz, a delay, reverb.... anything sounds good with a neck P90
Good P90 tone...nice vintage P90 sound..... impressed👍🎸
Looking forward to this! Really enjoy these shop videos and watching you make your products!! Your P90s sound great in my Les Pauls!
Very cool episode. Go over the Firebirds, and tell us why they're different!
Thanks Dylan. That was a really interesting video. I,ll never take pickups for granted again. A real art form...Well done. 👍🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Very interesting. Nice workmanship. And I now know what is inside a humbucker. Thanks.
That’s it. I’m buying one for my Epiphone LP Jr. can’t wait. Thanks Dylan.

I think your video is awesome… enjoy your details… I need to put a set in a sg…. Can it fit in humbucker spot
It's a pleasure you watch you at work, Doctor.
Pups sound great! Thanks for taking us through the process!
Absolutely fascinating. Thanks for sharing....

Is it noiseless ? Sounds awesome
I love that opening riff.
Nice ! Can't wait to put one of these in my LPJr
Fell in love with one P90 guitars this summer. I use to think that was craziness . But, not anymore!
With all due respect, I missed the part about why yours are the "best" , and so so much more. Thank you very much.
This was really cool, always learning stuff from DTT!
How would you compare the Gretsh 5110 p90?
That was absolutely fascinating! Thank you for that.
Love that! Thinking to get one for my beloved Junior. Cheers from Italy
First time, long time!
Welcome!
I enjoyed the video. Thanks Dylan !
THANK YOU FOR THIS! You make me wanna sprint full speed into winding pickups. I hav to control myself, Lol
If you're making a pick up for a lefty is the approach different in any way?
Very interesting, Thanks Dylan.
HT magnetize your Watch !! 🙂
that thing turns so fast, doesn't the coil burn your hand?
Always learn something from these. Not sure how you haven't passed 100k subs yet.
Sooooo Dylan I have always wanted to do a P90 with 2 singles. Thoughts?
Hello Dylan. I have a 335 with coil-tap P90s and I want to put a regular volume inplace of the push-pull bournes pot. I just want the bridge P90 full on without tap and using a CTS pot. How can I do this, I just want a regular volume pot on the bridge? Any help would be appreciated. I could probably figure it out but I wanted to gather as much info as possible. Thanks.
Got a pair of dogears from you for my Epi Wildcat. Doing flat wounds (Jazz/ Blues) Ideas on 500K Pots?
You are doomed to become a UA-cam hero/star.
Just got a pair of p90s from Dylan and they are great
I wonder if anyone has ever done a P90 with a steel base plate? Or even like a Jaguar style claw. Not sure if it would be worth doing or sound good but could be a fun experiment.
Hi, what is the difference in terms of how pickups work when it comes to single coil shaped hubuckers (2 coils or rails) and noiseless (stacked) ???
They work just like a normal humbucker. The only difference is that the bobbins are stacked instead of side-by-side
Really are great P90s.
Have you ever done a slugged P90 before? If so, how's that sound?
They are on our website
Fascinating watch 👍
I'm at something of a loss. I don't have a guitar routed for P90s. The P94s Dylan made for me are divine, so I can only presume the flagship pickups are better.
Request; a single coil (as in a Strat style)
So more like hand-tensioned rather than hand wound?
Vintage p90s didn't have a plastic comb ..did they?
I know what we’re talking about on Thursday! 😊
How come p90's use two magnets, can they just use one and a spacer like a humbucker?
You could do that but it wouldnt work as well. The mag would saturate one side more and less on the other side of the winding. If you were to change the north/south orientation of the magnet and install the mag sideways thru the center of the coil then it would work.

Dude, back in the 50's there was no such thing as " period correct " tension.

chrome/nickel cover option soon?
We have chrome
Quick question… why do some people like Ron Ellis charge $250 EACH for pickups ? While you charge fairly for a great product? I’m genuinely curious why others charge more than double the standard
Because they can.
Dylan…thanks so much for showing that pickups are just a man-made part and not some magical woowoo fairy dust thingamajig🤣
So it's definitely your saliva and the number of times you put the wire in your mouth that gives them their superb tone. That's why they can't be replicated either. Ha. Seriously though, great video and I'll be ordering some for my next build.
All but 2 of my guitars are ate P90
You guys moved back into a house??? I've been away a while. 👌
It’s like making a magnetic pizza pie😃
I have no idea where to buy a magnetizer. Any tips?
I have a Chinese Epi Casino...the only thing stopping me from replacing the pickups is access to the harness. I'm seriously thinking of cutting the back to gain access with a custom hatch. Seriously Epiphone, add some modern conveniences so I don't have to mod every guitar again and again.
If you're not going to replace the pots/switch, just cut the pickup leads right at the end and splice them to the harness. Easy peasy.
The secret to the tone is the Dylan spit
A more purist artesanal way would have been winding these by hand to give them a warmer sound and a step ahead of Josefinas pick ups to make them more unique
That wouldn’t create a warmer sound. That would make the inductance much lower, they would not actually sound very good.
Ummm no. No one hand winds pickups. Not even Joephina at Fender. So, what are you talking about? It wouldn't take that to make a better pickup. Why would you think it would?
@@J.C... When did I say Josefina did ?
Interesting, thanks for showing this. Seems quite tedious. I bet you lock the door and turn off your cell phone to avoid interruptions. Need to get a pair someday.
With a winding machine it's very quick. I did one in under 20 minutes using a power drill.
I love the sound but how dust I sound in a band situation

Thanks for this, but I can’t help but wonder if exposing all your trade secrets is the wisest move. We don’t want Chylans like we got Chibsons.
No trade secrets here, just basic construction, which is the same for all pickup coils.
The key to tone is Dylan's saliva.
Show me
I did
Who cares
Thanks so much for clicking and watching. I appreciate you ;)

Well that would be the trade secrets that he said he wasn’t going to share that is the secret sauce
