The phattest tones in town

Powerful sonic nature. Phat Cats are a unique, P90 style pickup designed by world renowned pickup masters Seymour Duncan. Brimming with quality, they give you a sound like no other. Explore immersive Seymour Duncan character that opens up a whole world of sonic possibilities. While hand-made tradition gives these pickups indulgent, unmistakable tone. And it's right in your hands.

With a powerful duo of Phat Cat pickups, this LTD PS-1000 gives you heaps of tonal flavour to play around with.

The sonic dynamism which both these pickups offer makes them capable of handling any genre. Versatile. So don't be restricted with what you can play, experiment to find your most perfect, persona-igniting sound.
