Re: NPSF (New Pawn Shop Find)
If that was mine, I would:
Replace the nut.
Drop some cheap aftermarket pickups. Duncan Designed pups can be had for next to nothing used. I doubt it's worthy of USA Duncans unless you had some around.
Drop some heavy ass strings and use it for some unusual tuning like Open C or whatever.
Enjoy!

Re: NPSF (New Pawn Shop Find)
If the guitar is basically sound and plays good, then it is worth whatever upgrade you want to put into it to make it a "dream guitar" for very little cost.
I've got quite a few guitars that started out this way and now play and sound every bit as good as any $2500 Gibson. (However, if you have very poor luthier skills, your attitude is justified).

Love that with the P-90s. Play the heck out of it!!
I have one of their LP Special I P-90s... it is surprisingly nice to play AND sounds good. I did a bridge upgrade to mine (it came with a non-adjustable wraparound) and will eventually get it a set of better tuners, but I've even played it during gigs a couple of times. Who cares if it's cheap if it gets things done for you and you like it?

You can't just go by the color...the grain type and pattern are the key. I've seen some very light unfinished mahogany that looked almost like ash. And I've seen some alder that was as red as typical mahogany.

I've always wanted to grab one of these and drop some P-Rails into it.
