Hey guys, I don't post much usually just read all the threads but I wanted to reach out for some opinions. I have a 1999 Gibson Les Paul Custom and was never really a fan of the stock 490/498 pickups. I had replaced the bridge pup with a PRS Tremonti Treble back in my younger days when I was playing heavier music and thought I needed hotter pickups. Now in my slightly older/wiser age I prefer the vintage PAF style pickups for more blues and rock tones. Going to rewire the guitar with some VIP Pots, 50's style wiring and wanted to see opinions on what you guys think would be a nice set of pickups for this guitar as well as caps to go with them. Was checking out the Wizz, Tone Specific, OX4, Throwbak's and some other PAF Clones but most of the demo's I see them in Standards/Goldtops and not so much Customs. Wondering since this has an ebony fretboard and mahogany body with maple cap if there are certain pickups you guys think would work best so that they aren't overly bright but still have that clarity and bloom. Any help is greatly appreciated! - Terr
