Must try/all time pickups?

I think the real deal must try pickup that we all should experience, but more than likely won't, would be one of the good original PAF's from the 50's-60's. I bet those sound killer.

They do, but only under certain conditions. Played through a 50s or 60s-era amp doing jazz, blues or early rock, they are fantastic.
 
Everyone always wants to play the best examples of vintage gear they can find, but I'd also be interested in playing an absolute lemon of a 59 Gold Top through the most out of spec germanium Fuzz Face available into a Friday-afternoon special Super Lead.
