We’ve had some amazing guests on the channel this year, and some of our most popular content features P-90 guitars! So we thought we’d let the famous guitarists who’ve been on the channel tell you why they love the P-90 sound. Plus, we’ve gathered some of the demos that show off the P-90 tones in all their glory. Whether you’re a blues player who loves single coils, a rock player who loves humbuckers, or you just want to see why so many guitarists think the P-90 is the best guitar pickup, this video is for you. Charlie Starr shows off his signature Gibson Les Paul™ Junior, Dinesh shines a light on the Epiphone Les Paul Junior, the best of both worlds for affordability and classic sound, and Jared James Nichols tells the story of his “Dorothy” Les Paul–the guitar that survived a tornado. And that’s not all—get ready to be blown away by Joe Bonamassa’s Epiphone 1955 Les Paul Standard in Copper Iridescent, a guitar with unique vintage looks and great P-90 tones. See the Gibson SG™ Special and its P-90s prove this pickup isn’t just for blues and rock. We settle the debate about whether P-90s can do metal and show you how to set up your amp for P-90 pickups. We revisit the Epiphone Coronet, which is full of retro cool, and Jared James Nichols is back to show you how to fingerstyle like a master and get a killer blues tone with the warmth and bite of P-90s. 0:00 Charlie Starr's signature Les Paul Junior 2:39 The Epiphone Les Paul Junior 3:01 Jared James Nichols “Dorothy” Les Paul with P-90 pickups 8:29 Joe Bonamassa’s Epiphone 1955 Les Paul Standard Copper Iridescent 14:33 Gibson SG Special 16:42 Can P-90s do metal? 20:21 Epiphone Coronet 23:30 Jared James Nichols shows you how to get a good blues tone with fingerstyle 26:43 How to dial in your amp for P-90 pickups 📼 Videos in this compilation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hly8zjRhGl8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwAjTO8-gHI https://youtu.be/q0i1Hw5i_X4?si=WAqokTi6HGpEKkOc https://youtu.be/ZsLWHhEhBiw?si=En_jH4p6r3LJ0wCD https://youtu.be/jgDD47ZFMto?si=0McSfGoalu6HaFq3 https://youtu.be/_OzQI_HVULA?si=ZXoqPzA1_dXEPu5A https://youtu.be/bW0n2EFmeEY?si=Nn9Ab_0_adSXmEWn Subscribe to the Official Gibson Gear Guide: https://www.youtube.com/@gibson?sub_confirmation=1 📩 Get Gibson guitar news before ANYONE else: https://bit.ly/GetGibsonNEWS 📱Follow Us On Social Media For Early Access To Product News ▶ https://www.twitter.com/gibsonguitar ▶ https://www.instagram.com/gibsonguitar/ ▶ https://www.facebook.com/Gibson/ 📹 Follow our other channels!
