2 questions about pickups for ES-335 type guitars in a hard rock context

[nienturi]

I think i would go for Duncan Seth Lover set ehich i was amazed on a Heritage H-535. But you want brightness. Hmm i think Duncan '59 set, Mojotone '59 Clone and '59 Clone Hot set (potted if possible), Dimarzio Humbucker from Hell/EJ neck or Bluesbucker and Virtual Hot PAF set would suit great!
