Ok this is an amendment to my other post. I wasn't very clear because I was in a rush. I am looking for recommendations of ANY brand, not just SD of pickups (bridge and neck) for my epiphone les paul. I have the slightly upgraded pickups which came in the Epiphone Ultra. I want a sound that is versatile, something that can handle indie rock to metal, but hanging more in the middle of the road. Something that has awesome lead sound, from Satriani to Metallica.
I have seriously considered Gibson Burstbucker Pro's and like every other review I have read, they were mixed. I have spent much time on the tone guide on SD and above is the best way I can describe what I am looking for.
It may sound like I am looking for too much, but there has to be a combination of pickups that can have solid elegant lead parts, to crunchy clear bar chords, to versatile soloing capabilities.
Wow I ran the gamit and I am probably babbling. Honest feedback is appreciated, anyone who knows about pickups in general would be of service, in case there is something other than the SD's.
