another holy grail, pair of mike's old double ceramic custom shop prototype seymour p90's circa 1998-2000 from his stage guitar. includes one cream cover. this is that sound, unparalleled, singular, menacing, bone chilling.


if you purchase the set you could use both pickups in the bridges of two separate guitars. i think you can go ten lifetimes and not find unique singular pickups this cool. if you were at social D shows from 1997-2019 and have a pulse and aren't deaf, you know what i'm talking about. insanely rare and special. nothing else sounds quite like this.

this listing is for a pair, bridge and neck. neck pickup is marked N with silver shielding. bridge pickup is marked B and has copper shielding.

Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Prototype (SP90-3B) high output 16K double ceramic Bridge P90's.


likely came from either the rat fink guitar or the orange county guitar. these are prototypes made prior to both the production double ceramic and before his signature pickup came out.

16K double ceramic cream, used at very many social D shows. only a few pairs of these ever existed, as mike had 3-4 main stage guitars only for a very long time.


this is the double ceramic P90 that the signature mike ness pickup was based on. but these are his actual pickups, from one of his main guitars that he used on stage for a long period time. these are the prototypes before they were named, they were made privately for him.


Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Prototype (SP90-3B) high output 16K double ceramic P90's wound by either Seymour or Maricela "3BJ". they are a cream covered bridge P90. one cover is included.


i also have a seymour custom shop bridge version (not signature version) of this pickup, with factory stickers, which dates to Sept 2001. i would date this prototype pair pre-2001. a real piece of history. top 5 best live guitar sounds of all time.


seymour designed these for him. and that was his sound for a good 30 years. he's since toned it down and is using vintage 60's P90's. again, this came directly from his tech about 3-4 years ago, right before covid, when mike sold a lot of guitars and stuff. i've sold a lot of mike stuff, most recently his blonde bandmaster. came directly from ness. guaranteed working perfectly with no rewind or issue. thanks
