I don't know what pickup is specifically in that guitar. But I have read that he uses a Pearly Gates in the bridge of his Les Paul.

Don't know what he is using there, but this article might shed some light. You can probably go to his website and ask him, too.

From 2011:

Which pickups do you use and for which guitars?
“In my cream colored Fender “mutt” Strat, I have a set of Custom Staggered. I also, on occasion, use a Little ’59 in the bridge of that guitar. In my main gigging Strat (an early ’80s ’57 reissue Fender Stratocaster), I have what I believe is a set of Texas Hot pickups but they’ve been in there so long I could be wrong. Maybe I could bring it out to the shop and find out! In my early ’80s Les Paul Standard, I have a Pearly Gates in the bridge and a Jazz model in the neck.”

From 2012:

Gear: 2009 GIBSON Les Paul Standard with SEYMOUR DUNCAN pickups (’59 bridge and neck)

Also, his newer MusicMan has a Whole Lotta Humbucker set in it.
