That really is one of a kind!!!!
What's the exact pick up configuration and the 5 way switch wiring?
Did you say P90? It looks to be double humbucker + 1 single coil??

Virtual P90?
Is it a silent/noiseless P90 then?
How does it compare to a normal, say gibson, P90?
My Vigier has the Di Marzio Virtual Vinatge 54 pick ups - they're brilliant, but have slightly more bass I think that normal single coils. I'm very happy with those!

I linked to the DiMarzio site above, it should have answers to your questions.Here's what DiMarzio says: "The original
single-coil ?soapbar? design had a special sound; low notes were solid
and not tubby ? they had an almost ?piano? tone quality ? while high
notes were fat all the way up the neck. We?ve always thought this was a
devastating combination, and we naturally wanted to reproduce this sound
without 60-cycle hum. In the end, we found the best approach was to use
our patented Virtual Vintage? technology to create the Virtual P90?.
The two coils are tuned to different frequency ranges and output
voltages, so tone and balance can be tuned by adjusting pole piece
heights. It?s almost the same effect as adjustable high-fidelity speaker
crossovers."So it's noiseless and is supposed to sound like a vintage P90, just like the Virtual Vintage single coils are noiseless, but sound great!
