New pickups for my LP?

Probably an actual T-Top bridge and a vintage PAF neck with an A4 or A3 maybe? Likely the neck was a hotter wind, then balanced with the volumes and 50's wiring. Whatever was actually in JP's guitar during the heyday (which I've never conclusively read, so don't know for sure - I've just been going by the sound all along). But note, the closest I got to the sound is where I finally settled: BK Black Dog bridge and 59N/A4 neck. For the poor man's, the tubbiness of the 59N becomes thickness, body and chunk in the bridge. 59N makes a great lower output bridge. And it was clearer than my Electric City T-Top clone, as a data point.

I made my JP set with a 59B with A4 and a late 70ies T-Top with a short A5

Not sure if someone has mentioned it already, but you Les Paul probably has 300k volume pots. That is why it sounds duller. Swap some 500k pots in and your highs should come back.
