New pups for Les Paul Traditional

Hey all-Just like the title says I'm looking for a new pickup set for my LP.

I'm not liking the stock pickups that much in this particular guitar; I've had the '57 classics in other guitars and they were great. In this one they sound somewhat too congested...I like thickness but not with such a loss of clarity.

So the breakdown:

I'd like more clarity.
I'd like to have at least moderate output.
I'd like a set that matches up well especially the middle position.

With this axe I'm playing mostly Ozzy/Scorps type of stuff.

My current rock amp is a Mesa Dual Rec into V30's and G12H30's

Thanks for any ideas.

I'm surprised you don't like the pickups. I love the 57 Classics that the Traditionals come with. I have a set of Seth Lovers and a Pearly Gates set, and either one would be perfect for you. Well the Seths might not have enough low end for you, but the Pearly Gates can't be beat. I'd be interested in trading for your stock 57's.

Jazz/Custom or 59/Custom 5
