I like P90s, my “offset” Tele has a pair. They aren’t that common though. That new Noventa Tele has a single P90 in the bridge position, like a Les Paul Junior kind of vibe.
would a P90 be preferable to a humbucker at the neck?
Totally a matter of taste. P90s are more dynamic than humbuckers but fatter and hotter (louder) than single coils. Because of the high output and non-humbucking design they sometimes have a tendency to be a bit noisy.
