I've played a few that were a bit uninspiring but most that I've played were very decent in my opinion.
Only one I've had is a first year Santana SE (made in Japan). The stock pickups were covered and very decent - in fact, I'm saving them for another project at some point. I put a set of Mean 90s in as I didn't have a P90 guitar.
Mine had one slightly high fret on the high E and B side, other than that, it's absolutely perfect.
No good pics though.

The PRS SEs seem to be a great mid priced line.
These are old photos (need to take some new ones), but the guitars still look the same.
The SoapbarII is bone stock. Plan to replace the pups with BG Pure 90s someday, but in no rush, the stockers are tame but sweet.
The EG has GFS Neovins (Mega Texas), which makes all the difference. Couldn't stand the stockers, they were loud in all the wrong ways. The Neovins aren't perfect, but they fit the guitar pretty well, and they'll probably stay put.
Just got a Benford strat, figured it would be time to part ways with the EG, but they feel and sound totally different - and awesome! They're both keepers.
Often tempted by other P90 axes, and likely will pick up another, but again, doubt I'll turn the SoapbarII loose.
The wide-fat neck is a big part of it for me. And the build quality is great. And I like the designs. And they're really light for mahog. And the tones are awesome, though it takes a pup swap to bring out the best of them. I guess this makes me a fan-boy. I'm OK with that.
HNSEDx2!!

I've got the same guitar -- in fact mine's one of the very first, s/n B00005 -- and it's also retrofitted with HB-sized P90s -- Kent Armstrong, to be precise. I love it -- the wide/fat neck is SUPERB and the trem is as stable, tuning-wise, as ANY trem I've ever used. I think of mine as a Les Paul Special which gives me a Townshend-style Leeds/Woodstock/IoW tone ... plus a Stratty trem.

My main stage guitars for the last 3+ years, the necks are the best fit for my hands.
