Lindy knows what he's doing, no question.
Still, a P90 coil is wide and shallow, where a Strat coil is narrow and deeper. That's got to affect things.
I guess the P90s made with rod mags instead of bars might not be entirely unlike a Jazzmaster pickup...
Never owned a Jazzmaster myself though.
I've had rod-mag P90s and found them slightly tighter and a bit more immediate than the standard type.
A tad more Fendery in character, as are the staple pickups. Still have one Duncan staple and a Sentell magpole P90.
I like them, but have only ever used 'em in neck position. So far.
