WOW! Thanks my HOC experts! I really appreciate your combined wealth of experience! i'm glad I picked this guitar up. No plans to change electronics, but I do have a Gibby Historic Bridge and Tailpiece I might pull out of the closet. Glad to be a 'legit' member of HOC again. Hi Milliniuim! 😵

For that, you might want to ask SEymour Duncan, or go to their forum. I'm sure some of the hardcore SD fans have ordered some.

The "Concept Set" writeup isn't really clear as to whether they are made "Just like" the Telegib set, or whether they are just a JB and Jazz made with old style base plates and made to look just like the telegib. I don't know if there would be much sonic difference.

"clinical" might be a good way to put it, though they aren't as "bad" as the Schaller or Carvin / Kiesel pickups, which are almost sterile. That's not always a bad thing, but if you want to rock and get some snarl, they are not the best choice. I love the '59s and the JB pickups, but when I want an old school raunchy rock sound, I grab my H158 with Seth Lovers. I also like the 57 Classic and Classic + set in my SG.

Both of these are Almond sunburst.

I think Tbone is saying to low the JB because the output can be higher than the '59. Output will increase the closer the string is to the pickup. You might also look at the SD '59 custom hybrid. It's a medium output and according to SD, it has much more midrange than the more mid scooped '59. https://www.seymourduncan.com/single-product/59-custom-hybrid
