Thanks to all for replies and comments. If I were to replace the stock P90's (Korina jr, Monaco Goldtop, Newport 90), what would people recommend? I play classic rock, some country, some blues. I've read some very good things about Lollar P90's.

But it seems to me that a clean option is good to have. I'm not too fond of Fender type pu's and tones, but like the clarity and definition of single coil pu's. But of course, it depends on type of music. Wouldn't one problem with high output pu's (p 90's or anything else) be that the higher frequency notes are not so prominent or that treble is subdued?

Thank you all for helpful responses. I was beginning to wonder about the output, because vintage style strings sounded really muddy on the Newport and Monaco, typical, I would think, with high output pickups (Had the same experience with a guitar with Gibson T498) Checked output with multimeter and got high readings (12 something) on both pu's of the Newport and the bridge pu of the Monaco, and a low reading (around 8) on the Monaco's neck pu. Haven't done this with the Korina Jr., but it sounds like a really hot beast. (Playability of all these is supreme, though - they just seem so well made) I've always thought that alnico magnets give better classic/vintage tone than ceramic. Maybe I'm mistaken about this, but if it's true, why would Hamer use pu's with ceramic magnets? I'll follow burningyen's suggestion before considering any changes. Again, thanks for responses. Further comments are welcome.

Does anyone know what type of SD P 90's are used on the following Hamers: Korina jr. (2004), Newport 90 (2007) and Monaco Gold Top (2008), ceramic or alnico magnets? Thanks in advance.
