GFS Alnico P90 vs Grosh G-90 Pickup Shootout Comparison

Another episode of cheap vs. boutique. I haven't been overly amazed with the tone from the GFS P90's I initially put in my parts tele. I found a pair of Don Grosh G-90's used on TGP emporium and jumped on it. I decided to do a comparison video between the two. I use exactly the same setup, same guitar cable, same Axe-FX II Marshall preset, same track in Reaper - only about 30 minutes spaced apart. The GFS P90's run about $35 per pickup. The Grosh G-90's run about $90 per pickup. 1:16 - GFS P90 demo 4:43 - Grosh G-90 demo http://groshguitars.com/pickups/g-90s/ http://guitarfetish.com/GFS-Alnico-Vintage-Soapbar-Black-Pickup_c_103.html I43 GFS Alnico Vintage Soapbar Black Pickup Bridge Position I42 GFS Alnico Vintage Soapbar Black Pickup Neck Position GFS Description: Fat, Warm Vintage Tone!!

We voiced the G-90 to sound incredibly alive, organic and musical in all configurations and types of guitars. While capturing the essence of the traditional P-90 tone, the G-90 has much more harmonic content, depth and clarity. The neck pickup is fat, rich, and warm. The bridge pickup is big and bold, and cuts like a knife with just the right amount of compression for lead playing. The tone is very organic and 3-dimensional with excellent string-to-string definition. Whether you're looking for clean and jazzy, tight and spanky, or raw and rebellious, the G-90 will get you there. Alnico V magnets. Output: ~7k neck, ~8k bridge. Available with black or cream covers. All Grosh pickups are wax potted and handcrafted in our shop using only the highest quality components.
