Filter-trons are an interesting ‘bucker option. Unlike PAF types, they don’t have that muddy honk.

Good to know .

I could be remembering wrong, it's been a long while since I've had one.

On my last 2 Strats I replaced the bridge pickups. The 1st one was with a Seymour Duncan mini humbucker of some description (it was a long while ago, but I think it was a JB Jnr) and it wasn’t bad. On The 2nd one I used a DiMarzio SDS-1, which is voiced like a P90 and I liked that better. I still had to wire both to an independent tone control to tame the highs, something I do with Teles too.

That’s a very fine guitar, good choice.

Conversely, an Epiphone Uptown Kat, with replacement pickups is a potential route. -
If you’re happy to consider a double cutaway, then the Casino or the Casino Coupé (if you can find one) is a fine P90 beast. This is my modified Coupé…

At least it wasn’t a bass, where that sort of thing can be a real bash to the wallet. You can still use those strings of course (if you can stop that slippage), you’ll just have to put up with poor intonation on the G string. That said, I’d just bite the bullet and get some acoustic strings, your ears will thank you.

Listening to a lot of Simple Minds recently, Charlie Burchill definitely deserves mention in this respect.

I always reckon you can’t go wrong with a Yamaha, their gear always punches way above its price point.
