What pickups would you use for an Alvin Lee sound?

The Alvin Lee Gibson signature guitar has 57 Classics and an SD single coil (don't know which one).

Re: Alvin Lee ES-335

Alvins original 335 is a 59 model so the broad answer is a PAF clone however in 59 things were still changing a lot from pickup to pickup...DC coudl range from low 7k range to high 8k range however 7.75-8.25 is a good average point and the magnets could be alnico II,III, IV or V...

Sorry I can't be more help but thats the best I can do for ya...

As a side note(w/no intention to hijack)- I hailed a cab one night in the late 80's (NYC). Guess who was driving?
