I've never really tried a real vintage PAF, TBH, but I think the PAF 36th Anni neck sounds fantastic. I definitely hear more similarities between it and Burstbucker Pro and Duncan '59 and vintage-voiced pickups than to something like a Crunch Lab or Dominion or anything that's modern-voiced.

No worries. Most people haven't. Seths are the real deal. Pearly gates and 59s are close enough unless you're a purist and won't tolerate potting and polished magnets.

Honestly, it's about playing. Chasing tone is either a diversion or an excuse.

...and if high gain is your bag, why should you care about vintage spec pickups (as if there was a spec)?

This.

Watch any great player on YouTube (e.g. Pete Thorn) and see how they make anything sound great.

As Clapton says, "tone is in the trousers".

Well that’s true...

But lots of great players are also tone chasers.
