Re: SD Jimmy Page pickups...
i remember hearing a sound clip over at the les paul forum and the bridge pickup sounded dead on the tone in Moby ****.........the neck pickup was a little less impressive (as far as nailing the JP sound, it still sounded great)

Did and still does on occassion. The JPs are wound hotter, 8.7k and an 8.2k neck if I am not mistaken (I'd have to check the box) and they have a slightly hotter and warmer tone than the 59s. The JPs are also a little spongier and not quite as tight sounding as the 59s, at least to my ears.
They are a variation on a theme, but they are definately different sounding from the 59s.

If your trying to nail a Led Zep tone, you need to focus on a album. On the first album, Page used a Telecaster. Ha! Check out the solo obn Stairway to Heaven. Also a Tele. Ha!
Folks always say "Jimmy Page sold alot of Les Pauls while playing a Telecaster"

The 59s are in the ballpark but the JP set really does get all over his thing, especially his bridge pickup and combined pickup tones. I have my 59 RI with the JPs wired with the JP schematic and some of the phased stuff is dead on the money.
The JPs definately sound as advertised.

Of course!
I find that in general they need some moderate tweaking to alleviate tuning problems and such.
I gotta good tech who is awesome at getting "kinks" out of guitars........
He can take the most squirelly axe and turn it into a great player...........
