Are P90s good for doom?
I’ve used P90s for doom/sludge, a crossover thrash type band, punk and surf rock. If they’re decent quality pickups on a good guitar, you can dial in pretty much everything else to work, I think. I think it’s worth having one single coil and one humbucker guitar though, in general. It covers enough ground tonally.

Can you use P90s for metal?
Here’s the short answer: You CAN play metal with P90 pickups. However, they are NOT the best option for most sub-genres. P90s lack the low end and definition of humbuckers and have a muddier sound, although this, paired with their top-end clarity could be used in some styles.
Are P90s good for high gain?
P90 pickups have a tendency to hum with high gain settings, so if you crank the gain (or distortion) you will get plenty of hum and a lot of feedback. You can address this with a compressor but most just use humbuckers instead – that’s what they were designed for: to handle high gain signals with little to no humming.

Can you shred on a fender?
