Seymour Duncan Vintage Phat Cat Silencer Bridge - Nickel | No Limit Guitar Co
Introduction
The Seymour Duncan Vintage Phat Cat Silencer Bridge Pickup delivers authentic vintage P90 tone in a noiseless, humbucker-sized package that drops directly into your existing humbucker route. Combining Seymour Duncan's innovative Vintage P90 Silencer technology with the classic Phat Cat design, this pickup captures the fat midrange, articulate highs, and dynamic response of legendary P90s without the notorious hum. Whether you're an intermediate player seeking new tonal territory or a professional guitarist wanting P90 versatility without routing modifications, the Phat Cat Silencer offers true vintage tone with modern noise-free performance.
Product Overview
The Vintage Phat Cat Silencer features carefully engineered construction that replicates the magnetic field and tonal characteristics of authentic vintage P90 pickups while eliminating unwanted noise. The ceramic magnet and meticulously calibrated coil winding deliver the output and frequency response of iconic vintage-spec P90s, producing that distinctive fat, punchy tone that defined classic rock and blues recordings. Housed in a standard humbucker-sized casing with an attractive nickel cover, this pickup seamlessly replaces most humbuckers without requiring any modification to your guitar.
The noiseless design uses Seymour Duncan's Vintage P90 Silencer technology, which maintains authentic P90 character while canceling the hum that traditionally plagued single-coil P90 pickups. This innovation allows you to enjoy wide-open P90 tones in high-gain situations, live performance environments, and studio settings where unwanted noise would normally be problematic. The bridge position voicing delivers the bright, cutting treble and thick midrange bite that makes P90s perfect for crunchy rhythm work and singing lead tones.
The 2-conductor shielded cable provides straightforward installation with traditional volume and tone controls, making this a true drop-in replacement for guitarists seeking P90 tone without the complexity of 4-conductor wiring. Hand-built in Santa Barbara, California with premium components, the Vintage Phat Cat Silencer combines vintage-inspired tone with modern reliability and noise-free operation.
