Glorious P90 tone with no noise. That pretty much sums up these pickups from Chris Kinman.

Chris tells it better than I can, though:

"When Gibson’s President Ted McCarty told Seth Lover to silence the P-90 in 1955 I took that to mean keep the P-90 sound and get rid of the hum. Well, Seth got rid of the hum but the sound of his humbucker was nothing like a P-90. Gone were the whack attack and the piano tones of the low wound strings. Gibson sat on the pickup for 2 years for that reason and only released it in 1957 under pressure in response to Gretsch’s silent pickup. Meanwhile a whole generation of guitar players has grown up not experiencing the wonderful sonic attributes of a gorgeous P-90. They don’t know what it means to have whack attack and piano tones coming from the low wound strings. Probably because the P-90 was relegated to the back burner due to the massive amount of 60Hz mains hum it produces and it died a death at the hands of the silent humbucker.

Some 57 years later in 2013 and Chris Kinman discovers the obscure Law of Electrical Physics that prevents humbuckers from sounding anything like a P-90, especially on the low wound strings. This Law of Electrical Physics is relatively unknown since one of the few places it operates is in the side-by-side coil arrangement of a humbucker. From an understanding of the actual problem Kinman devised a solution to allow the coils to produce a more natural sound free from excessive self-capacitance. The revolutionary P90-Bucker is the result and gorgeous, lush piano tones delivered with a nice whack attack is the sound it produces."
