Pender Alnico V P90 Set

The Pender Alnico V P90 Set – Vintage tone with crystalline clarity

Hand-wound craftsmanship for discerning players

Whether you're comping smoky jazz chords, driving a crunchy blues riff, or chasing the raw urgency of early rock and roll, the P90 offers a tonal signature that’s unmistakably alive. The Pender Alnico V P90 Set captures that soul with finesse and a little extra breath. These pickups are hand-wound in Portland, Oregon to precise standards, using premium materials and an ear-tuned attention to nuance. The result? Classic P90 character with modern consistency and reliability.

Articulate low end, glassy highs

Forget mushy bass response or brittle treble, these pickups hit the sweet spot. Low notes remain focused and warm, never flubby. Up top, there’s a bell-like chime that doesn’t pierce but instead floats sweetly over a mix. Chords bloom with clarity and sustain while single-note lines stay rich and full-bodied, even as you climb the neck. It's a set that responds beautifully to your touch.

Built for the real world

Gigging musicians will appreciate the durability and dependability of a hand-wound set. Whether clean or gained-up, these P90s bring out the personality of the guitar they’re in, woodier when you want warmth, snarling when you dig in.

Vintage soul, modern precision

Pender’s take on the soapbar P90 doesn’t mess with tradition, it refines it. The Alnico V magnets provide just the right amount of push without veering into harsh territory.

Your tone, elevated

Every detail of this pickup set is made with intention. From the winding tension to the wax potting. Whether you're chasing the raw tone of early electric blues or looking for that punchy, midrange-forward voice to sit perfectly in a modern mix, the Pender P90s offer a sonic palette that’s expressive and deeply musical.
