Noiseless P90 options: Duncan P90 Stack, P90 Silencers, DiMarzio P90 Fantom, etc.

[Peter Krasov]

Looking for noiseless P90 pickups - there are not so many variants, but still.

Actually, there are three of them:

1. Duncan P90 Stacks
2. Duncan Silencers (Probably Hot Br. + Classic N, or two Classics).
3. DiMarzio Fantom P90
4. Mix of listed above.

I'm leaning towards P90 Stacks - they're time-tested classics. Fantom is not really a P90, according to photos here: https://forum.seymourduncan.com/forum/the-pickup-lounge/6152287-dimarzio-fantom-p90-s-arrived-early. Have little to no info about Silencsers.

Any ideas?

I am hearing that people really like the Silencers, so maybe someone with them can chime in.

I hear Lindy Fralin has some pretty nice options

I have 2 sets of Lindy Fralin silent P-90's - I LOVE THEM. Also, a silent P-90 from Kent Armstrong in my Dean Leslie West Mountain is terrific - beat the stock unit all to hell. And the stock Roswell P-90 in my Harley Benton double cut junior is a silent unit that sounds great.

I forgot that Lollar just came out with the DC-90 - another silent P-90 unit. Sounds very nice, like most Lollar stuff.

To add to the list:

-Kinman P90Hx's...

-any solution based on a wide air coil (see Ilitch Hum Cancelling Systems, or Ulbrick Noise Reduction System, or just wind yours with a few hundreds turns or thick wire; but it might require to route the guitar body).

FWIW.

Mojotone makes one that gets alot of love.

It's a sidewinder design I think.

I've never tried noiseless p90s. I do own real and hbsized versions. Do they do a better or worse job sounding like actual single coil p90s than noiseless strats pickups do respectively?
