I have a cheap Les Paul copy that I want to put P90s on, please recommend me a set that does not cost more than $120 USD for a pair.

Thanks!

I have the opposite problem. I just picked up a pair of Gibson P90's and wiring for $220 shipped and now I'm looking for a guitar to put them in. Either a LP or an SG are at the top of the list, so far

You should sell to Elf! The $100 loss will cost you less than the new guitar.

You can get more value buying used.... especially if you are patient and persistent.

Like here. Pretty dang close to your target price and not crap.

I'm always a big fan of Tonerider for reasonably well made and affordable pickups. They have vintage and hot output P90's as well as humbucker sized P90's for about $60 per pickup. Quality is well above the really cheap import crap and everything I've tried of theirs sounds great.

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions!

I made an offer at Reverb in my range and was accepted for a used pair of Gibsons P-90 Soapbar pickups.

Yes Tonerider are way better than a vast majority of pickups in their price range and many that cost quite a bit more. If you can’t find something used then go with these.

The post 2019 LP Specials are amazing guitars but unfortunately (or fortunately for the rest of us) likely come with the same pickups you have there.

Gibson P90s are great. Some of the best IMO.

Right outcome. Gibson make fantastic P90s.

Yeah I picked up a 2023 LP special in TV Yellow for about a grand and it's superb. Pickups are great.
