View Full DescriptionThe phattest tones in town
They sound absolutely huge. Phat Cats are a unique, P90 style pickup by world renowned pickup masters Seymour Duncan. Brimming with quality, they will give you a sound like no other. The Phat Cat in the bridge is one incredible creation, giving you mountains of tone to play with. It brings out brightness and pristine articulation in everything you play, offering you a world of sonic possibilities. Clean settings will have a nice twang and beautiful top end sparkle. Dirtier settings will have that crunch and grit which rockers and metalheads crave.
The Phat Cat in the neck position is a character in its own right. It offers a slightly lower output, warmer sound, which chimes with beautiful sustain and a solid saturation. It will bring out all the best facets of your lead licks, giving them a glistening, defined tone. The sonic dynamism which both these pickups offer makes them capable of handling any genre. You'll be able to experiment to find your perfect sound, and take your music to shores anew.
