Well... tomorrow is the first time I'll be taking delivery of something other than a strat or tele body for quite some time!
All being well, a SC LPJ will arrive tomorrow in a big gold hardcase with the robot (g-force?) tuners. I have a small repair to do on the pickup cavity (it was routed for a humbucker by the previous owner) but I'm unsure as to whether or not to run with the humbucker or revert to the p90...
As far as finishing goes this is where it gets tricky. I have grand ideas due to the amount of nitro I have in my workshop. And this Gibson is a sunburst never the less so I could even do a reveal relic. But something is drawing me to TV Yellow. Dunno, maybe I'll see what happens when it arrives!
More to follow...

You could just put a humbucker p90 in it and if you don't like it try a split coil paf for more versatility

But worth it though...

Even if it's Gibson 'nitro' you might be better off with a heat gun and scrapers from experience.

Having said... I'm stupidly tempted to do my other idea....

As I've mentioned.. I'm torn between two ideas. And they somewhat different

I posted up a humbucker vs p90 pro demo which was interesting
Anyway just a thought as you have the route done
