Rebuilding a 90s Korean Tele. The routing is set up for 2 P-90 pups. I am wondering if if there are any mini-humbuckers that would fit into a P-90 route for the bridge. I have a decent Seymore Duncan P-90 in the bridge that I may move to the neck. I am also looking for some recs on a set of vintage P-90s (very tele sounding), as I may replace them both.
Thanks for any help.

Correction:
its actually a 2006 model?! Very unusual Korean tele with a tune-omatic brige and seperate stop bar (like a Gibson) stock with 2 P-90 Seymore Duncan pups. TV yellow finish. My brother (original owner) said its made to sound like a Les Paul Jr. It has a double cut- away, and a set neck. Its also a semi hollow body. This is a weird looking guitar to say the least. Any way, if anyone has one of these, or can rec some new pups, that would be swell. I was thinking of getting a p-90 sized humbucker for the bridge, and a p-90 for the neck, but I cant find any fender humbuckers that would fit in the routing. I will try to post pix on tues.

That's what you're looking for:

It's called a TC-90, and 2006 was their last year, I believe. I remember seeing them being used by a couple bands. I think mini-humbuckers would fit with no mods, for standard sized humbuckers (or humbucker shaped P90s)you would have to route the guitar.

Fender doesn't make P90's or Humbucker-shaped P90s (doesn't make much sense getting a humbucker shaped P90, if you can stick regular P90s in it).

I heard Duncan, Fralin, Gibson and Harmonic Design all make pretty good P90s.
