I would say it mainly depends on what sort of neck profile you like..
Classics have a slim taper neck which not everyone likes.. I personally love them myself...
And yes.. P90s RULE
Theres also some years where they did a Tribute Goldtop which I also have one of They did those in some years with the option of a 50s (fat) or 60s (slim) neck.
If you like fatter necks, look for a LP Traditional.

Yes.... P90s used the right way are capable of all of that as are most pickups if you know what settings to use.. (a lot of that comes down to technique anyway).
I was just having a look around.. There arnt that many GT options at the moment but I found this on a German music site.. Its a Less Plus which means its at thinner Les Paul.. Ive always been pretty interested in them.

But yeah if you like slim necks id say its a very good choice.. Much better value than a Standard in most cases.
This is a very good video about how to use the controls on a Gibson

im sticking to a 4 guitar rule now which is gretsches and a 335 as i am pretty much rockabilly full on these days and not much else, i am not really a solid body guy anymore but it felt just as good as some custom shop les pauls i have had in the past and the finish was very well done for a cheapo gibson, i have seen worse jobs on the custom shop stuff
The first one went back to Gibson because the nut was awful, high e cut way too close to the edge. Gibson took a month to deem it irrrepairable, so I assume there was more going on there. I bought that one unseen, chose it because it was the lightest as this models weight can stray towards 11 pounds which is too much for me.
Gibson sent me a replacement which was way too heavy for my taste, plus had two finish flaws which I was disappointed with seen as though they knew this was going to be a replacement. That ones gone back to GG now and I'm waiting on another replacement from them.
Despite all of this I still think it's a bargain for the price, just make sure you get a good one!
The third one I'm waiting on is 9 pound 7, just going to have to go with it. Still a lot better than the 11 pound plus 89 custom it replaces! All of these feels like feathers compared to that.
