I have 1989 59' reissue Les Paul that has always sounded a little thin, bright , cold and harsh to me. I have numerous other guitars and many Seymour Duncan pick-ups. I Usually prefer the Custom and 59 combo. I think my taste are changing now. The Custom is a little too aggressive and harsh at times, and I have tried Gibson 57 classics, Pearly Gates bridge and the original pickups. I tried a JB in a similiar guitar and did not like it.(Too dark). I have Seth Lovers in another Les Paul and am happy with them, but they are a little too vintage for what I'm looking for. I think the Custom Custom is what I'm looking for. I want something warm, smooth, and still able to cover 70' and 80' rock. I really like the 59's, seth lovers, alnico pro 11 NECK pickups I have in my guitars, but really have struggled finding the smooth and warm sound for the bridge position. I still want to cover everything from classic rock to hard rock and metal. How about some help all you tone wizards out there!! Thanks in advance. Larry
