If you want something with a P-90 that's full hollow I would try the new Epiphone Century that would by my choice as well.
The upper end Loars are great "raw materials" guitars. They might need a heck of a setup fix, but once their together, they can be outstanding.

The lower model Loars, the materials aren't any good, either.

I agree on the Century. Wish they made a deep bodied one, but the shallow bodied model I tried was a winner, good P-90, nice fat neck. Felt like an "old" guitar, in a good way.
