Untill recently the P90 was my favorite pickup but since a couple of years I fell in love with the mini-humbucker (doesn't mean I'll sell all my beloved P90 guitars though! maybe a pair).

So this is a thread for all of you mini-hums maxi lovers, post yours!

Here's mines:

There is NOTHING like the original 60's gibson minis w/ pole pieces. The Firebird minis sounded totally different.

. I have had Duncans, later gibson, etc in various guitars.. The old mid 60's epi wilshires I had sounded like nothing else... just incredible... bob

Definitly not! A good mini-humbucker is tighter than a classic humbucker, with biting mids and clearer treble.

What do you have? Minis are generally lower output and brighter
