u could get a Lindy Fralin Steel Pole 43 , these pups are designed to sound like P90s but in single coil size.shouheng said:

veering off a little- you can invest in this P-90 equipped tele as an alternative...

hi shouheng,
just curious, why do you need to have a P90 installed in the bridge of ur tele? is it for Looks or the Sound/Tone.?
if it is for the Sound/Tone then u can try mew's suggestion regarding the Lindy Fralin Steel Pole 43 as it meant to sound like a P90. or u can try the Chopper T (for teles) by DiMarzio. it approximate the sound of P90's (to my ears only...) plus it do not have the hum. i used to play a friends Les Paul with P90s and love it so much that i try to get the sound. thus the tele pictured below. i put the Chopper T (b) and Mini Humbucker
. i used to have another tele with a P90 at the neck too... but sadly both i've sold away...

im using that guitar...bought it at the start of this year..really good stuff..only the bridge pup ain't that hot for my taste
thanks for all the suggestions guys!
echoist: I'm thinking of a p90 cos I'm not satisfied with the bright but brittle tone in the bridge. I need something with a more pronounced mid-range and more bite. like the p90 i heard on my friend's les paul...though thats another guitar altogether. I'm trying to avoid hbs as I got a les paul with the SD JB at the bridge...would like more variety. Think i'll check out the fralin and the dimarzio.
btw...sweet tele you got there echoist! the mini hb in the neck looks sweet...did you have to get it routed? oh hell....its all about the looks!

ohhh, ok! i see it now... u're just like me then! i tried to get the sound of the P90 after playing with a friend's P90 equipt les paul... yes, check out the dimarzio, it is close! well, to my ears that is...shouheng said:
that's a dimarzio mini hb there in the neck position. and yes, i have to get it routed as it was an early 90's tele without the hb routing. i did it the old skool way with a chisel, took me a few hours to get it done! and yes, everyone said it looks, interesting. wish i still have the guitar now... oh well...
