So I need some suggestions on pickups....
I play a gibson sg-z(bridge pickup 500T) through a single channel 50watt marshall jcm 800 head into a marshall 4x12. I just bought a 1980 lespaul firebrand on ebay. The pickup in the bridgle of the paul(t-top(I think)) sounds really really noisy and abrasive, I think i need to replace it.
I thinking of these pickups for the les paul, any opinions/suggestions/recomendations?
gibson 500t..People say they sound shitty in lespauls but i like it in my sg...

I like the alnico magnet sound of the 57's better than ceramic magnet pickups.
I know enough to know that I don't know what I am doing.

My old guitar tech, who's pretty well-known in the Bay area, recommended the Billy Gibbon's Pearly Gates (I think, with seymour duncans). I had them on a les paul copy which I sold-- they sounded okay (the guy I sold the guitar to liked them). I had the 57 classics, which were okay as well, but I think I'd be satisfied with the Pearly Gates.
