Re: Why don't more players use P90's?
They don't look good/right to me. IMHO. That's weak, I know.

Limbo to you, sweet spot to me... it's funny, isn't it? How different preference can swing.
I have a very high-gain rig both at rehearsal and at home, and I find that P-90s really fit what I do. To me they have all the girth and meat of a humbucker with fuller mids and the clarity/tightness of a single coil. It took me years to find that out.

You may want to think about a nice piece of mahogany to put under that pickup.

Wow, good question! What are the other pickups going to be? One humbucker or Strat single coils? I guess if it were me I'd go neck = Strat, middle = Strat, bridge = P90. Although a P90 neck and humbucker bridge might be fun too.

I was using a phat cat for a while and I loved it for clean tones and light gain, but I play with heavy distortion too often and can't afford to buy another guitar right now. It was the noise that did it. I also didn't like how the sound wasn't as thick as the sound I got from my humbuckers.

Considering that I have a full set of Texas Hot's with the custom bridge. Just for the sake of trying out a P-90 I'd leave it in there with two singles. But, what if I tried a P90 in the neck . I'm one of the few guys who actually like the bridge pickup in a strat, hence I don't really want to take the THCB out. However, I'm always willing to experiment1: P-90 neck, TH, THCB. Sounds kinda crazy. hmmm. Clearly I need a second strat.
