Pickup set for a ES-335

[SlowHand87]

I have a Gibson ES-335 Reissue.
I am wanting to swap the pickups for a set of Seymour Duncan's.
I mostly play blues & classic rock.
My amp of choice is a Fender 65' Twin Reverb reissue.

Given this info, what's a good humbucker set?

Brobucker (bridge/treble), Pearly Gates (neck/rhythm).

I've also gone for a '59b with an A2, and a '59n with an A3. The PG may be a better choice if its less boomy. I've got an Epi, but acoustically it sounds quite good. I had to remove the covers on the '59's as no matter what I did the neck sounded muddy (and I wanted matched looks).

I have a '76 335 playing through a '72 Fender twin playing the same kind of music plus some jazz. I put a set of APH-2's in and couldn't be more happier. Really nice set of pickups.

Hope you find what you're looking for.

+1. If the bridge is a little bright for you (like any PAF bridge sometimes is), put an UOA5 in it.

Regular 59's or Seth's.
