When I got my H150 it came with Duncan 59s, love them in that and I generally prefer lollar imperials. They are not as vintage correct as imperials but god do they match well with the 150. I’m privileged enough to work in a higher end guitar shop so have tried many Lollar, throback and other such pickups as well as original PAF’s. All the modern boutique repros have their own character and capture one or a couple of aspects of the original. But I’ve found it is highly dependent on the guitar. I’ve heard the same set of throbacks sound great in one guitar and awful in another. Guess you just need to find the right pairing.

Me too, always terrible.like line recording with no effect,small volume. I think the keys are impedance and preamp.

or frustration LOL

Heritage had a great way of stopping the static buildup.... wooden pickguards. My 157 never had any issue.
