If they are as hot as the output rating suggests I see it primarily as a bridge position candidate.
So are they actually that hot? The output rating in millivolts is almost identical to the soapbar Vintage P90 and Virtual P90 (which I guess at least in theory should be more indicative of perceived output than resistance - at least within the Dimarzio product line)

So I guess another way of phrasing my question is which rating is most important to look at when pairing pickups (especially both used in parallel rather than each on their own) - millivolts or kiloohms?

The Pickup Place / Questions about Fantom P90 (humbucker-sized: DP279N)

Hi! (I'm new here, first post \o/)

Tried emailing [email protected] a few days ago. No response yet but thought I'd might be worth checking if anyone knows on the forum too.

I have a couple of questions regarding the Fantom P90 (humbucker sized: DP279N).

First of all: I have yet to see these offered by any EU dealers. Have you not yet started offering these in Europe? (and if so, any indication of when you will?) Are you aware of any EU dealers currently offering these? I'd rather not have to deal with additional VAT and customs fees.

Secondly, about pairing these with other pickups. They are listed as medium power despite having a rather high resistance rating (I'm assuming due to internal dummy/noise-cancelling coils). Are there any particular considerations I should be aware of when pairing these with a single coil in a HSH configuration? I'd prefer something more vintage stratty or even slightly mid-scooped to contrast the mid-push of the P90s. Can I expect any strange/undesired effects of the novel construction of the Fantom P90s when wired in parallel with a more traditional pickup?

Any particular single-coil pickup(s) in the Dimarzio range you would recommend paired with Fantom P90s in a HSH configuration?

Cheers!
Andreas
