Re: Is this pickup combo good?

Im sure your axe sounds great. Dont worry too much about pickups until you have an amp - maybe a nice low wattage toob amp will do the job like a blues junior or something along those lines. Anyway, after you play plugged in for a while you might not even need new pickups.
If you do, then maybe either get a pair of 59's, or just one neck 59 to go with your cc in the bridge. You can tailor the sound of the cc by putting in an alnico 5 magnet (turning it into a custom 5) to blend nicely with the 59 neck, or you can put an alnico 2 magnet in the 59 neck to blend with the CC bridge.
