Humbucker sized P90s Recommendations

[The Traveller]

I have an old beater guitar I'm thinking of fixing up. I would like to try something a little different and put some humbucker sized P90s in it. Anyone have and recommendations?

How bout a Duncan P-Rail

Arcane PX-100. Killer pickup. Bob Savage can attest to this as well!

Wilde Custom L609. I put two of these in a 335 copy and they are terrific, versatile, quiet.

I have a set of BG Pure 90's in my LP and they sound fantastic.

Duncan Phat Cat P90'S or Dimarzio Bluesbuckers. Can't go wrong with either. I personally have and can attest to both. Let me know if you want clips (PM).

one of my favorite pickups - got them in a few of my guitars (mostly in the neck position). The stockholms are also great if you want something a bit more modern

I put Guitar Fetish Mean 90's in one of my LP copies -diggin' them.

Another vote for the BK Mississippi Queens. They really nail that fatter P90 sound.

This... From clean to mean. I used them in the studio over the weekend to record all of my rhythm tracks for a thrash album I'm playing on. Superb pups.

Yes, the Mississippi Queen pickups are great sounding...

Awesome! Thanks for all the recommendations guys. I'm going to look into the BK Mississippi Queen and the PX-100.

You could look into Vintage Vibe Pickups too. He's got a few humbucker p90 options, or if you're picky, Pete'll custom build you whatever you're after and the pricing is great. http://www.vintagevibeguitars.com/pickup_sc.html

Rio Grande Fat Bastard - looks like a P90
Rio Grande Dirty Harry - looks like a 2 coil humbucker but P90 tone

Don't forget the Häussel pickups. I use them in the neck of my SG2000's and they are great; glassy and clean when rolled back, big and fat at full throttle. http://www.haeussel.com/

Just a point of reference on the PX-100 with some gain:

Edit: Sorry, one more thing to say. While I don't think most people buy p90's for high gain tones, I used my Felix guitar in the studio over the weekend to record rhythm tracks for a thrash metal album and the PX-100's sounded glorious. I was going through my TC Electronics Booster+ into the Fryette Deliverance 60 and Diezel VH4. It was massive.
