Re: Pickups that everyone else loves...
I think that some pickups sound great in some guitars and really bad in others! Sometimes it can be the same model guitar...

Oh Lawd yes!!!!!! I HATE JB'S!!!!! They just do not work with me at all.
I have tried it in LP's, Jackson's, Fender's, 250K pots, etc. I still hated it!!!

I must say the JB. Had it in a Les Paul and just sounded harsh. Others love it so much, and I can't stand it!

Re: Pickups that everyone else loves...
I can't stand the JB. I had one in a mahogany body guitar and a pair in an alder body superstrat. All three of them did not agree with my playing style. Having said that, I've heard some other guys get great tones out of their JBs. Oh well, such is life.

The Live Wire Metal-Set. I liked each pickup for itself alone, but I never found a guitar were i liked both pickups together.
Liked the Live Wire metal (bridge) on a hamer diablo, but not the live wire neck (classic)
Where i liked the live wire neck, i didn't like the live wire metal.

i couldn't stand the JB few months ago and I gave it up. I just couldn't stand the middy focused tone and the bad cleans. But now I gave the pickup another chance, just assuming it's weakness. Now I love it, It has some of the bests overdriven tones I've heard.
The Stag Mag didn't work for me at the end...

Re: Pickups that everyone else loves...
I have had so many pickups that didn't do it for me. Not all of them Duncans either.
The Duncans would be Pearly Gates, Sreamin Demon, Alnico II single coil, Hot rails, HB-102 & HB-103 and Custom Custom although I liked the Custom Custom the best and should have kept it.
Dimarzios would be PAF, Double Whammy, Al Dimeola, Super 2, Air Norton, Humbucker from hell, and Paf Pro. I am still trying to make the Humbucker from hell work for me.
Fender Texas Specials.
Gibson Dirty Fingers.
Kent Armstong Mega Distortion.
Bill Lawrence XL-500. I am still trying to make this one work for me. Good tone just not enough power.
Carvin pickups. Horrible single coils serviceable humbuckers.
EMG 81 and 85. I hate EMG's.
