I'm not into LPs, but the old P90/Staple Customs are sweet, wouldn't turn one down! Prefer the more bity, raunchier tone.
Now you just need a staple pu in the neck

Re: NGD - Ed
Their gloss finish is much nicer than the horrendous "lacquer taste" finish I had on mine...lacquer over poly. Thickest finish I have ever seen and the guitar was incredibly muddy.
They are very well built though. Great players. I would like to have one of their lacquer only aged versions.

Cool guitar. It's ironic that the pickups are better than what comes in a $3500 Gibson version.
Staples have a unique look and sound, but I wouldn't change anything. Duncan P-90's sound great. I love the P-90 neck into a blackface Fender.....just a beautiful tone.

They were a bit mellower or softer. I was running thru my AD30 and I got some of it back opening up the mid and treble controls but I need to bring the Dual Terror down to practice and see how it is with that. I expected a little more cut than I was getting. It wasn't bad and I certainly don't need every guitar to sound the same so we'll see.

IMO, Gibson is still doing a good job with their P90s. The vintage style Duncans I have tried are too mellow and don't sound "right" to me. I say this having a 1954 P90 in the guitar I grew up playing which my brother still owns. The modern Gibson p90s are not as sweet but they still have decent "bark" when you jack 'em up.
That said, For what Gibson charges aftermarket, I would probably go with Lollar or Fralin,etc.
