Duncans for 1969 Les Paul Presonal low impedance pickups ???????

[dmedic]

Hi, everybody. I am new to this , but I've been playing for a while. I just bought a 1969 Gibson Les Paul Personal that had low impedance pickups changed. It has humbuckers that have been twisted off center in order to match pickup holes. I have Dimarzio Paf Pro and Virtual Paf now and want to put '59 and JB. The problem is that JB 's bobbins will not match the string spacing when I put it off center. Does anybody know a good pickup similar to JB for hard rock or metal that 's not active and has similar tome to JB, but has string spacing more than 1.925"? 2'' would be great, so the strings can sit on top of the bobbins .
Has anybody done that so far and what do you think about this idea. How does this angle twist affect the tone. Hope to hear a few good opinions. The guitar is great and has a solid 40 year old mahagony . I just changed the frets and nut and would like to get a better sound.

The trembucker version which are availiable for nearly every humbucker in the SD comes with a string spacing of 2.07". Its called TB-4 for the JB. At the neck you could use normal spacings.
The angle twist does effect the tone slightly towards more bass since the bass side was slanted toward the neck on both pickups. If the bass would too boomy on the 59, you can swap in an A4 magnet.

Hope that helps!
