Ok. So. Curiosity peaked & you got me wondering. How about a double/back-to-back P90 (looking like a humbucker) with a center magnet, & two outer magnets? Kinda like a double p-90 (that theoretically cancels the hum)……., like a P180!! You need to do this Clem. Great stuff buddy!🤘🏼
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to make a suggestion MoBG... That is a great straight forward Idea and im sure it will make a hell of a racket! Judging by the other thumbs up on the comment others agree. Well lets see if I can work that in and see what it sounds like? I'm certainly curios what it'll do? I got parts coming in mail. Its gonna go down!~ Thanks again Bro!
@@leoleoleonor the thing what throws me off is that a p90 is a single coil, so your contrasting 2 p90s against a humbucker which consists of 2 single coils is a distinction without a difference. In fact, the humbucker is fashioned from the electronic specs and thus properties of the p90, despite the coil shape differences. That's why using one humbucker coil recreates a p90, and why the video creator's project is legitimate. But what you propose makes it sound like you're trying to reinvent the wheel, or rather the humbucker, which is why I'm at a loss to understand this proposed idea. I guess I'll have to wait for the video to illustrate what you mean.
This is how the $20 Asian HB size P90s p ups are made. They actually sound good, especially the AlNiCo. But you can hear the scatter wind vs the hand or computer controled wind on a boutique or Fender etc p up. Adds a little mud, but nothing too severe. Another thing is that the magnets go beyond the edge of the coil. This adds a little too much bite. Of course BITE along w thickness is why the P90 is loved. If you use the tiny magnets from a single size HB such as a Duncan Hot Rail or a cheapo clone that go perfectly to the coils edge, it brings the bite intensity back to a normal P90. Much better to my ears, because it gets rid of the gnarly high end the magnets over shoot brings to the sound as well. You can also add one or two to an HBs outside facing side of the pole pieces to get a slightly different sound in general. It gives a better sound to split coil mode. Dimarzio does this on their HB that's designed to be split.

Wait! Don't toss the other coil!! Knock out the slugs and wire it in series with the pickup and use it an air coil to cancel noise- once it's in series with the pickup, determine which way to mount it under the pickguard or in the control chamber by getting near a transformer and seeing which way makes the hum minimum.

Its in my notes several times and I think the likes and comment on this suggestion and the simple manor that you laid out the process state that its going in the notes once more... and I better put it on the express lane. ;)
@@picksalot1 The simplest way to demonstrate the hum rejection of a dummy coil is to note the way hum in the 2 and 4 switch positions of a stock three single coil stat type guitar is reduced compared to the hum in 1, 3, and 5 positions. If you remove the magnets/lugs from the center strat single coil pickup it becomes a dummy coil and will cancel hum while allowing the bridge or neck pickup to sound like they would in their respective positions. I'm not saying you should do this because part of what makes a strat a strat is those quack sounds, but I only state this as a way to explain what is going on with a dummy coil. You can also do a dummy coil in a humbucker to have the humbucker sound more like a single coil, just remove the screws or lugs from one of the coils and there ya go.
Maybe you could install the other coil on the control cavity as a switchable dummy to see how much it affects tone vs removes 60hz hum? Could be interesting if you do a follow up video.

I liked the video, so I subscribed. I like experimenting w pickups too . Heres something I've never seen anywhere that you might want to check out. If you have 2 Hum Buckers in parallel, if you connect the coil junctions of each pickup to the coil junctions of the other, it gives a clearer more airy sound.

hmmmmm have this old area semi hollow body with humbuckers , might try that mod , thinking on keeping the coil with the screwheads in its original position under the cover so it fits inside the original humbucker ring and the screwheads still go through the original holes in the cover and build out the plate under the coils to outside the cover and slide the magnet against the coil from the outside of the original humbucker frame , it will stick outside the normal humbucker size at the bottom but with the hollow body that doesnt matter as it will be floating in thin air inside the body
Sounds great!!! I was planning to do something similar, I was going to use the coils from a pair of humbuckers I bought online to remove the pole pieces and transform them into a single-coil-lipstick-trisonic-like pickups... Let's see if it will work just fine (This could be a suggestion for a future project for you as well👀)
Wire configuration is diff, right? I guess it depends what you really looking for. obviously not as short and wide so the magnetic field will act on the strings differently. So I'd have to hear it live
Great video! Where I live P90s are hard to come by, but you can find boatloads of second hand humbuckers and single coils. And in case you're wondering I live in Taiwan. :-)
Love your channel, you have some rad stuff that I want to try, but have you ever made a humbucker into two single-coil pickups, and then wire each of those into a stereo output? What about making a humbucker for a guitar out of a single-coil bass pickup, and a P90, or a regular single-coil guitar pickup?
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment DC. Great Ideas Bro! I could imagine an awesome L shaped pickup. Ill put this in my notes right now... and Done. Thanks again.
Original P90's were 10k wraps around a single coil, original PAF's split the difference and put 5k wraps around each coil, so unless this HB was like 16k DCR wouldn't one coil be half the required wraps for an "authentic" P90 spec? I like the "air coil" idea suggested by others and not meaning to pick holes in your project, you may not have been going for authentic and by all accounts a single coil flanked by 2 magnets is mostly P90-esque but it's not the full equation 😅
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to make a suggestion Seba. That's a great idea. I just put that in my notes. I think the only restriction of the size of the coil would be width but if made as a 2 coil humbucker it might be a cool thing to build a guitar around... Or maybe diagonal poles and fill it to the edges and cover the tone from the bassiest of the low to the sparkling part of the high e right by the bridge??? 🤔 I'll have to do some pondering on this and try to find a big roll of cheap magnet wire cause you could easily spin up 40-50 bucks of wire. Great suggestion, Thanks again bro. 👍
Hahahaha!!!! You really get this thing Mr.VonFuego! Thats a perfect idea. I have 100% contemplated and studied quite a bit on those masonite geetars... I'll just have to fry up some chicken and study it yet, fer another spell.
A p90 has a fat sound due to the dimensions of the transversal section of the coil. So, add 2 magnets is just a way to have a single coil ... Not a p90 Re wind the single coil into a p90 enclosure and add the 2 magnets is the way of how you could have a p90 from a humbucker....

Leo Fender would had placed a second magnet to reduce costs and have his own version of p90... what you need to do is to re wind into a p90 enclosure which respects the same dimensions than the original one to have the same transversal area and axial length... the problem with this video is that looks like a click bait.... promise something that never do...

This IS NOT A P90 🤦 A P90 is a wide fat coil. Not 1 coil from a humbucker with extra magnets. That's a single humbucker coil with extra magnets. Come on dude. You can't be this remedial. Those "humbucker sized P90s" aren't P90s either. A P90 has a VERY SPECIFIC COIL SHAPE. Without that coil, IT IS NOT A P90.

Hahaha not no more it dont. Why buck 1 hum when you could have 90 Ps? LOL Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment Joody.
@@heavymetalATC WOULD BE MORE INTERESTING IF YOU STACKED THEM INTO A SINGLE HUMBUCK CONFIGURATION

SO CLOSE YET SO FAR AWEIÀÀÀÀ
The yelling with reverb on was so annoying I couldn't finish watching, sorry 🙄
Bruh you didn't even stick the screws through the backplate. Wtf is wrong with you?
This IS NOT A P90 🤦
A P90 is a wide fat coil. Not 1 coil from a humbucker with extra magnets. That's a single humbucker coil with extra magnets. Come on dude. You can't be this remedial.
Those "humbucker sized P90s" aren't P90s either. A P90 has a VERY SPECIFIC COIL SHAPE. Without that coil, IT IS NOT A P90.
Cut the reverb & the clownshit and stick to your trade and you'll do better, But thanks for the info anyways!
