My D'Angelico EX DC is an early one (I think 2005, based on serial #) with a stairstep/trapeze tailpiece and spruce top. It has a very lively acoustic sound. Full humbuckers, though. You could look for one of these. I believe the Vestax ones are also spruce/trapeze.
If you want the P90 sound without 60 buzz, I'd suggest trying an Electro-Harmonix Hum Debugger with one of your P90 guitars. I use one with mine, and it kills hum very effectively without changing the tone (at least not to my ears).

Marchione is out of the budget, lol. Also I really don’t like the look. It looks like Batman’s guitar.

For me, it has made single coils usable in environments where they had been unusable, so I think it's worth a shot

I think this is gorgeous, but, man that price tag.

Bite the bullet and buy the Collings.
Every one I've played was simply amazing in tone, feel and quality.

I could live with a Starfire compared to the ticket for an asian origin Sadowsky.

While a D'Anglico Excel SS works perfectly with just a small block under the bridge (and new models have split coil SD 59's):
You appear to want something more upscale. As do we all. How about a nice Lowden GL-10?
