Why not offer a hum-free P-90 as an option from the factory?

I don't know why there isn't such an option.  Fender does it.  There must be a significant percent who would like a H-530 or a solid body with single coil sounds but no hum.  Yes, the sound would be slightly different but still more single coil than humbucking.  It is more expensive to replace pickups than to not.

Heritage used to let you supply your own pickups or they would get them for you.

I totally agree with you that hum-free P90's in an H-530 would be a great option. I have a Fender Tele and Jazzmaste Ultra with noiseless pickups and they are great.

It doesn't matter if they offered it.   They would get changed anyway.

I have realized that it doesn't matter what the factory uses.   If they use SD,  they get swapped for Dimarzios.   If they use Dimarzio, they get swapped for Lollars,   IF an amp company uses JJs, they get swapped for TungSols.   If it came with TungSols,  then it really needs TADs.   If it has a Jensen speaker, it really should have a Celestion.   If it has a Celestion,  it gets swapped for an Eminence or Warehouse.   Heck if it has GHS strings, it really should have D'Addarios or Ernie Balls.

Mojotone makes the P90 that Josh had them put in the HOC 137.   They sounded pretty darn good.   It's a pain in the butt to change pickups in a semi or hollow body, but it can be done with a bit of patience.

Yeah we're lucky to have so many options now. Any colour you like!
