I know Les Paul bridge pickups aren't exactly a new topic.
I recently picked up a new Les Paul Standard 60s and I love everything about the guitar except that bridge pickup! It sounds ok for some things, but it gets a really nasal quality to it in notes around the Bb-C on the 3rd-5th frets of the G string. Overall it's sort of honky and thin.
It also does this annoying thing where it is too bright and too dark at the same time! The top three strings get really sharp and too bright while the low strings are still very dark and boomy!
I don't have much experience with Gibson humbuckers, but this one is making me think it might be time to throw a Duncan in there
