Would love recommendations on bridge pick up to pair up with a Pearly Gates neck in Les Paul. Would like a pickup that sounds really good split for clean tones and also can get nice and gritty when overdriven. Styles include everything from classic rock to blues to contemporary Christian. Thanks

Out of those listed I'd say the Custom, but I really love the full-on Pearly Gates set.

I'd say the bridge PG....but if splitting the coils is important to you, the JB sounds better split.

The JB is my favorite Duncan pickup for splitting because you get an 8.3K single coil with plenty of output.

But I'd go for a PGb and not worry about splitting it.

The standard PGb doesnt need to be split to sound great clean. ;)

Rio Grande BBQ, or possibly the new "Brobucker" as someone mentioned.
