I just played a gibson les paul custom(with classic 57's) though my bassman head and 212 bandmaster can and it had the most beautiful tone. I want tone like that out of my sg standard. I just ordered a set of duncan sh-1's and am wondering if that will get me there or to i need to look at something else. As always thanks for the help. and i ordered the covered 59's is that going to sound different from the exposed coil ones?

Well the 57 classics have an Alnico II magnet, and the 59's have an alnico V magnet, so they're not going to sound exactly the same. I think the 59's sound a bit less scooped and a more focused than the 57's, which sounded fat to ecess to me. Also, you have to take into account the differences between a les paul and an SG when considering the pickups you want.
Covered pickups generally sound a bit smoother, warmer and less focused than uncovered pickups.
