RISTRETTO P90 — Clear. Focused. Unexpected.
The RISTRETTO is a reimagined low-output P90 that delivers exceptional clarity, balance, and dynamic response — without sacrificing volume or punch.
Don’t let the low DCR fool you. With carefully selected magnets, custom wire tension, and a unique winding recipe, the RISTRETTO offers all the midrange bark and top-end chime you'd expect from a classic P90, but with noticeably more definition and articulation.

- Fender uses a proprietary "Aged White" color in their off-white Jazzmaster covers and is thus unavailable for our pickups. Our "Antique White" is the closest we have but it is NOT a perfect match.

We fully believe a product should be able to stand on its own, where the location of manufacturer doesn't automatically qualify/disqualify it from a perceived quality. That said, we're proud to design, manufacture, wind, fulfill in house here at our shop in Southern California.

Crafted with care
Premium Materials
All Ristretto pickups use custom cut nickel-silver baseplates for the best magnetic reflection. In the case of our JM sets we use in-house drilled covers for the ultimate fitment.
Flexible Application
Our Blondie set can be selected with 2-wire or 3-wire configuration for the highest flexibility in wiring opportunities. Either option uses the highest quality possible pre-tinned cloth push-back wire from Gavitt to protect your signal chain from the very beginning.
Shipped with style
Premium Packaging
Every pickup set comes in its own premium box with laser cut foam ensuring a snug and secure transport. Included polishing cloth helps keep those new covers nice and shiny.
Add a custom wiring harness made to our specs for the ultimate tonal package.
