GLS Custom P90 Pickups
Raw grit. Full expression — the perfect blend of single-coil bite and humbucker punch.
Overview: GLS P90 pickups capture the unmistakable voice of the classic P90: bold, dynamic, and rich with harmonic texture. Designed with wide, flat coils and powerful magnets, GLS P90s deliver a unique sonic identity—brighter and more aggressive than a humbucker, but fuller and richer than a traditional single-coil. The result is a pickup that excels in blues, rock, indie, slide, and gritty vintage tones.
