Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the DiMarzio fantom p90's? I know they have 4 coils. I don't know why though. I'm thinking about ordering a pair of the fantom dogear p90's for my wildkat but was wondering if anyone knows what they sound like? I have not been able to find any information on them on the internet. Thanks everyone.

Phil mc knight has a pretty good video on youtube with them.
They are dual coil humbuckers that sound like p90s.
Nothing more, nothing less.
I thought they sounded really good. -
I don't quite understand why the need for 4 coils? I can see it using one active coil and one fantom coil for hum cancellation but that would be 2 coils. And if it were a humbucker the that too would be 2 coils. Can you please explain why and how they are using 4 coils in one pickup (if you know)? Thanks alot for the help.Originally posted by Juanhanglo View PostIt's funny how some stories became historic,

I see the forum software is still having issues with linking to images.
And with editing any post that contains an image in it - even an image that isn't visible....

I've got 2 of them ordered, whenever they arrive I'm going to remove the dogear cover to switch covers and when I have it out of the cover I will look to see if I can tell how it's structured. Other than that I can't find any information on the web about them.It's funny how some stories became historic,

im curious what you find, four coils is pretty unique. especially for something that is theoretically two conductorComment

I hope I'm not hijacking the OP's thread, but a long, long time ago, I bought a pup or two from a forum bro. They threw in (for free) a weird pair of Godin pups. Both coils are stacks. Each pup has 9 wires. The eight for the four coils, and a common baseplate ground. Besides the weird pole pieces, what you can't see in my pic is that the "rail" side is a gentle wave. It starts on the low E string, slightly above the bobbin, and gently rises a bit higher under the D string, then rolls back to the G string, then rises back up again to the high E string.Originally posted by jeremy View Post
Totally bizarre. I've never hooked them up yet because the wiring possibilities boggle even my lil pea-brain.
