All Of Greg’s Favorite P90 Tones in One Pickup Set

Andover, MA – With the success of his Signature Gristle-Tone pickup set for Telecaster :  guitars, it was no surprise when Greg asked Fishman to explore the possibilities of Fluence technology applied to the P90. Like his Gristle-Tone Tele :  set, Greg’s Signature Series P90s are deeply rooted in tradition, and then un-rooted in sounds that only Greg can conjure – satisfying all his lascivious P90 needs!

The original P90, first introduced in 1946, clean or overdriven, sounded great for jazz, rock, country, and other styles of playing. However, it was not without its issues of inherent hum, acoustic feedback, and noise. The intrinsic, player-benefits of Fluence technology become immediately apparent with the Gristle-Tone P90 set – no hum, no noise, and no feedback. Unlike stacked “humbucker” P90 variants, which can actually aggravate certain problems while curing others, with Fluence all of those issues are eliminated, leaving pure, unadulterated, Fluence Multi-Voice tone.

Fishman Founder, Larry Fishman states, “It’s always a pleasure to work with Greg. He knows what he’s looking for and can express it well both verbally and musically. Our sessions become something like ‘product jams,’ trading back and forth until we hit that perfect note.”

Greg adds, “We set forth to come up with a set of P90 pickups to completely ameliorate the angst of humanity, and we came damn close…”

Fluence Greg Koch Gristle-Tone Signature Series P90 pickups are available as aftermarket, body-mount, drop-in replacements, or as original equipment in Greg’s Gristle 90 Signature Reverend guitar.

Like all Fluence pickups, the P90 can be powered by either a standard 9V battery or a Fluence Rechargeable Battery pack.

Nowhere are the intrinsic benefits of Fluence technology more up front and apparent then when applied to the P90. Unlike stacked “humbucker” P90 variants which can actually aggravate certain problems while curing others, the noise, the acoustic feedback, the hum, the inductance issues caused by guitar cables, amp and effect inputs… with Fluence, all of it is eliminated, leaving pure, unadulterated, Multi-Voice tone.
