Looking for best sounding P90 NECK pickup

to go into a Les Paul.

What would you recommend?

Played a P90's re-issue Les Paul Goldtop and really liked THAT neck pickup. I wonder if those are sold seperately?

I recommend a lollar. I use the regular but find it a tad powerful and bassy. So i suppose the underwound 7.7k neck pup must be perfect

+1. The Lollar 5% underwound sounds very good. I used it in two different guitars with great results.

What about Haussel P90's? Or Seymour Duncan?

...me likey :idea:

I have Gibson's P94 in one of my Fender HM Strat's in the bridge. Sounds real good but, I have to say, the SD sounds better to my ears... The SD sounds amazing in the neck !
