Pickups Model
The "Inspired by" John Lennon Casino is equipped with a calibrated set of single-coil Gibson U.S.A. P-90 pickups, including a P-90R at the neck and a slightly hotter P-90T at the bridge. These are Gibson's most accurate vintage P-90 reproductions, made with Alnico V magnets and wound with 42-gauge wire like the originals. Pickups
Magnet Material
Gibson's P-90s are made with Alnico V magnets just like originals from the '50s and '60s. Magnet Material Tonal Characteristics
Gibson's P-90 pickups, as found on original Epiphone Casino guitars from the 1960s, are among the most enduring pickups in the history of the electric guitar. They offer all the output of vintage humbucking pickups, but with a sharper, slightly brighter tone that has plenty of midrange muscle and an appealingly grainy edge to its voice. In the "Inspired by" John Lennon Casino, these P-90s proved an outstanding blend of bite, warmth, richness and definition.
