    @Alegree has some in his Old Timer series. I'm guessing these are imported from the far East like Tonerider, GFS etc. but they're good value. He does different magnets too. Alnico 2 and 5 I think.

    I was hoping that someone might have a set of Lollars or Fralins that they didn't want any longer, that sort of thing .....

    btw they are noisier than normal single coils

    I tried a Kinman HB-size P90 recently on the neck position of a PRS SE, it is very good

    I've bought some Old Timer ones too, not tried them yet

    I had some Bare Knuckle ones, they sounded amazing, but were also amazingly noisy

    Interesting, why is that do you think?   And it might explain why people seem to offer them in noiseless variants as well.

    AFAIK it's the coils, they cover a wider area than a SC, hence the higher output

    True with proper P90s, but not humbucker sized. 
    They're probably lower noise due to the shielding of the baseplates and covers in most cases.

    Re noise and humbucker size P-90s, I have three guitars with them in and they’re no noisier than my Tele and Strat single coils in my experience.

    OK, I think my Mississippi Queens were very noisy, but to be fair did not have much to compare them to
