I've heard that a Quarter Pounder comes reasonably close to the P-90 sound.

The Lindy Fralin Steel Pole pickups have a definite P-90 vibe to them. I tried a strat with one of them in the bridge position and it was really sweet!

That's the one to get: the Fralin Steel Pole 43. I use one as the bridge pickup in one of my favorite Strats. Kind of 1/2 way between a Strat pickup and a P-90 in tone. Great pickup!

There's also the Steel Pole 42. It's a little more Strat like but still has alot of P-90 to its tone.

I like the Steel Pole 43 best. It has two ceramic magnets under the coil (like a P-90) and has adjustable polepieces (also like a P-90).
