I have a Historic LP Special with vintage 50's P90's and a 1956 LP Special. They are completely different animals. I haven't swapped the pickups between the two, but the difference in their amplified tones correspond to the differences in their acoustic tones.
I'm inclined to believe on the basis of this that it's the wood not the pickups.
