More low thick mids than the '59? Custom 5 from Seymour Duncan. It's a Duncan Custom with an A5 magnet, like a beefier 59. Gibson does make some nice pickups, but I find their naming conventions to be pretty confusing. Most of their pickups are vintage voiced though, and honestly overpriced for what they are. I would consult a custom maker if you were looking to spend Gibson level money on pickups. My H150 has two '59s, and I love the sound it has. I have some Hamers with '59 / JB sets, which I also love, just gotta remember to lower the JB a bit to get it how I like it.

If it's like my H150, the label will be on the underside of the control cover plate....

Thanks all! ASB looks really close. Yep, I'll check the label. I've been wanting another Heritage for awhile. Then the 59 Replica came into the picture. Then this one popped up at a great price. I scratched both my itches. I have to start selling one of these days! Or at least quit buying! I am out of room! i'll start tripping over them and knock one over breaking a head stock!

I somehow missed that my friend.

RhoadsScholar used to gig with that in Detroit. He used a Strat, H-170, and this H-150, mostly the H-150. He died during COVID, and of course there were no gigs then. I bought the guitar back from his trust and picked it up at his funeral months later.

I may be a little late, but I have a set of Gibson BB2/3 I pulled out of an Epi '59 Standard. They were pulled out about a month after I got it. Just in case you feel like rolling pickups.

The 498T has an A5 magnet and is wound around the 14.5k range.

Duncan makes better pickups in my opinion. the JB is an A5 wound to 16.4K... Not a design from the Gibson line available similar. Enjoy your oxblood!
