The DCR reading is much higher than normal single coil P-90's due to the nature of their hum-canceling design. This is a case where DCR should not be considered as a measurement of output because these are equivalent in output to a vintage P-90 that ranged in DCR readings between 7-9k.
This is what a real P-90 sounds like — without the noise. The BH-90 is the quintessential humbucker-sized P-90 built to deliver every ounce of authentic single-coil character: the glassy top-end clarity, the dynamic volume response, the punchy midrange bite, and that unmistakable open, breathing quality that makes a great P-90 feel alive under your fingers. The hum-cancelling is just a benefit, and not a compromise. Customers have even said that they sound so good, you forget they are hum-canceling!
Roll back your volume and the BH-90 cleans up with the same sweet, chimey clarity you'd expect from a vintage single coil P-90. Dig in and it responds with aggressive grit, rich harmonic overtones, and a top-end sparkle that cuts through any mix. The touch sensitivity is real — this pickup reacts to you, not just your amp. That's the difference between a pickup that sounds good and one that feels right.
The BH-90 was designed from the ground up to solve a problem that mass-produced alternatives haven't: how do you get true P-90 tone in a humbucker-sized pickup without sacrificing the very qualities that make a P-90 worth playing? The answer is in the refined design — carefully matched coils, using a proprietary hum-cancelling technique that doesn't choke the tone or compress the dynamics. What you get is a pickup that sounds, feels, and responds like the real thing, because it is the real thing — just quieter.
If you've tried other humbucker-sized P-90s and felt like something was missing — that last 10% of clarity, responsiveness, or top-end air — the BH-90 is what you've been looking for.
