I'm not aware of anyone that makes 7-string Humbucker-sized P90's. You'd probably have to have it custom made (or make it yourself).

bigaldo, Well, lessee here........... we want a P-90 pickemup, that means that the poles are in the center......... an' we want it to buck the hum, which means two coils........ Hmmmm, if we combine #1 with #2, we get a stacked coil arrangement, not a side-by-side, which makes sense. And it has to be humbucker-sized..... no problem, the humbucker was originally designed to fit where the P-90 used to sit, before it was phased out. Now, all we need to do is tack on an extra pole-piece, and we're all set, right? Uh oh....... no can find tha tone. At least, not in the more-or-less standard ways. Looks like you may be asking a custom builder for a custom jobbie. Hope your wallet is feeling fine now, because when you're all done, it's gonna be singing a different tune. sumgai
