They do a run, it takes a while to sell them, so they stop making them.

P90 core is the only thing I dream of as of now.
I guess soapbar models must not be popular. If they were, PRS would make 'em.
I've had a few, mostly McCarty Soapbars and CU 22 Soapbars (they were production models in the late '90s and early '00s) and currently have one of the limited run Soapbar 594s. They're wonderful guitars. If you can find one, snag it. Well worth owning if you're into soapbars, as I am.

I drank the PRS kool aid, and it was tasty!
I’ve become a P90 guy. My stoptail is an SE Singlecut with tap P90’s, which was my first PRS guitar. In addition, I’m three deep in Custom 22 triple soapies. My musical life was changed when I got one. It’s my holy grail.

One of my all time favs is the 594 Soapy
Go find one.

I second this. A couple of caveats. I don't need it to be a Thinline and I'd like it in a single cut gold top.

I had a gorgeous 3/P 90 model that played awesome sounded great clean but was just too noisy when playing dirty recording with my laptop picked up way too much EMI. I don’t have anyone else recording me, don’t have an isolation both, l need to reach the keys of the computer to rev/stop etc. so guess I was too close to it. Now I’m not knocking the the guitar or build quality, don’t get me wrong. It was just what happened in my case so I lost interest in it. I will say though….. Nothing like the sound of P90 pickups.

Actually my Soapbar ended up in the UK. Here it is with the custom TRC, tuner buttons and control plates made by Seb. The neck felt so good I miss that neck.

A while back when I was working, a friend of mine from work had an SE model with P90's. Said it was a great player but he had the same complaint you did regarding the noise factor. I must say when I see video's on YouTube you can't help but notice the noise when a player kicks on some gain. Sometimes it's not so bad and other times it's like whoa! But I know some players swear by P90's. Maybe a good shielding job would help? Don't know because I have no experience with those pickups.

Noisegate helps, but there is no cure for regular P90s and hum. Sadly.
Love my korina mcsoapy. Lots of expression, tone and versatility.
