I had one of those Duncan P90s. It's a SUPERB pickup and I seriously doubt the Gibson is any better.

On the other hand, it'll cost you about as much as, say, a Vintage Vibe P90, but with Vintage Vibe, you could tell Pete Biltoft exactly what you want, and he'd tweak the windings for you. AND you'd be supporting a small, independent business rather than a big semi-corporate name. The same goes for any number of small pickup winding operations.

No playable guitar is unworthy of good pickups.
