P90s for a strat?

Does anyone know of any p90 pickups that fit into a strat pickguard?
Or at least, any p90s worth looking into for cheap?

I've got a P90 in my Strat bridge, it took quite a bit of filing, but I'm sure it wouldn't be so hard if you were starting with a humbucker sized pickguard instead of single coil. I got my P90 from Officer Brukowski, I think he said its a PRS. It's a really nice tone:

Just realized this is in DIY, and not gear. Also, I didn't think that I actually submitted this post.
I was thinking of putting it in the neck position, if I end up finding one on the cheap. I didn't know that PRS made pickups, though.

Yeah I'm not sure. Maybe it was out of a PRS... I'm not sure of the exact model of it. Would you be using it as the only pickup or with others?

Google 'single coil sized p-90'. There are options that require no rerouting.

It would be as the neck with a Texas Special, and a Seymour Duncan rail humbucker strat sized.
I can't find one that
looks like a P90, though.
Maybe I'll get a lipstick when I get the time/money to swap my neck pup, instead.
