Best P90 pickups

[Dane12]

I'm looking for a p90 pickup( or any pickup that fits into a p90 cavity ) that has a strat sort of tone? Any advice?

P-90's don't sound like Strats, the PU's are built totally different.

^^ That's what you asked for.
Is it a one or two pickup guitar? Firebird mini hums and tapped p90s could be interesting.
I've got a set of Bill Lawrence minis with blade pole pieces going into a LP Special DC.
If and when I get up off my lazy butt

DiMarzio and TV Jones make P90-sized pickups. The TVJ MagnaTron springs to mind. It uses rod magnets as polepieces.

I'm a huge fan of Gibson's P90's, but I don't consider them Strat like at all.

This is the pickup you want. Call the Custom Shop and they will wind it with your choice of magnet or wind (vintage/hot).

The Gibson blues 90 is also kind of half-way there. They came on the blueshawk and some of the recent melody makers.
