Pickup suggestions for a SG

[SlowHand87]

I have a SG and I currently have a Dean Leslie West "Mountain of Tone" Bridge humbucker installed. However, I am looking for an aftermarket neck pickup. I mainly play classic rock and blues and am aiming for a balanced tone. Moreover, I am switching out the wiring to a more authentic "vintage" set-up...

Any suggestions?

I think a seth lover or '59 will do you good.

Both are excellent, with the '59N being the more commonly used one here in SG's.

Pearly Gates balances really nicely with mahogany. That's what Angus is using.

pearly gates set or 59 set would do fine
or a custom 5/59n combo
