P-90's. Can they do heavy?

Partly because even if they did sound exactly the same, most guitarists would refuse to believe it, or would complain about the looks.

I have a set and I am very pleased with them; the P90 sound is as I'd expected, the two humbucking sounds are both usable (series is pretty thick and hot, parallel is quite PAF-ish) and the rail sound is certainly Fenderesque.

They go particularly well with the Triple Shot mounting rings.
