The only P90 comparison I can make is to Seymour Duncans, and those felt hotter with loads more midrange. Tokais are brighter/scooped(/thinner if you will). I'm pretty happy with the Tokai pups for now. I think they work well with the fairly dark amp, and clean tones are nice too.

Mine was SUPER thin sounding, I went almost twenty years before I changed it... Sounds great now but I think the wood also makes a big difference to the sound, I put the same pickup into another solid mahogany body guitar and that sounds as good as my '58 Junior... The Tokai sounds much, much better now but still noticeably thinner...
Any idea what wood yours is made of?

That's a lovely guitar, what are the pickups like? The P90 on my MIJ Tokai Junior was shit...
