What your guitar wasn't meant to have. The Smuggler delivers forbidden tones—P90 warmth or single-coil clarity—smuggled into humbucker-sized cavities with no routing, no modifications, no paper trail. Choose your contraband: the P90 variant delivers warm, articulate midrange with vintage P90 character (Alnico 5, non-wax-potted for authentic dynamics), while the Single Coil variant lives somewhere between P90 grit and traditional single-coil sparkle—a unique center-hole design that's truly its own thing (Alnico 2 neck, wax-potted for clean operation). Both drop directly into any humbucker-routed guitar—Les Paul, PRS, whatever you've got. No permanent changes. No questions asked. If you've been curious about P90 or single-coil tones but own a humbucker guitar you won't (or can't) modify, The Smuggler is your black market connection. Underground tone. Above-board installation.
