We have been getting requests for Kent Armstrong's new noiseless HP-90 pickup and they are now here. This new revolutionary design gives the sweet, warm chime and tone of the original P-90 pickup without all that annoying 60 cycle hum. Read the forums on this HP-90 pickup and don't let the high resistance fool you. This design uses the hum-cancelling properties of opposing coils but defies the normal high output that would accompany similar resistance designs. Available in both bridge and neck positions so you can create a proper calibrated set and in black and cream plastic as well as real metal covers in black, chrome, nickel and gold plating. If you love P-90s and want to forget about not being able to use your favorite guitar because of lighting and power issues you simply have to get into a set of new Stealth 90 pickups.

Resistance = 19.6K bridge / 17.2K neck
Length = 3.365 in. (85.50mm)

I am really pleased, in fact surprised at how good these pickups sound in my Fender Player Mustang. They are bright with great clarity and not thick mid based. I couldn't live with the noise level of the original Fender P90 pickups and the Armstrong HP90s are dead quiet.
I was a bit hesitant at first especially where a test review of the best P90s described the HP90s as aggressive with a sound that best fits metal music due to the crunchiness. I don't believe they could have actually heard these pickups because that is simply not true. The HP90s are not aggressive high output they are a fantastic sweet P90 single coil tone.
In summary these are great, noiseless P90 pickups at a good price.
OK, so I've got a cheap guitar, a Chinese PRS copy (PekingRS?) from Harley Benton, But boy, with only a little bit of fiddling (filing the nut, blocking the trem, putting 9-46 strings and lowering the action) it plays like a dream. Except that awful P90 hum! I gave Armstrong Music a call and a really helpful guy (Dan?) talked me through what I needed (and assured me they were already in the country so no nasty delays or surprise brexit bonus charges) so I ordered a pair. Bridge and Neck, black plastic. They came quickly, were straightforward to fit and sound soooo good! I then wondered if they could be wired out of phase so I called again and had a very interesting and informative chat - so yes, tomorrow I'll be getting the soldering iron out again and having a go.
I tried a more expensive noiseless P90 that although effective at killing the hum, didn’t really sound authentic. This is much closer to a P90 and suitably quiet. I am very pleased with the sound. I also bought a neck pickup and they make a well balanced set.
