The GFS Vintage 59s cannot be beat for the price. Serious bang for the buck. If you have a little more cash (and who does these days?), sure, go for some 57 Classics or RS Fralins, but I highly recommend these GFS PUs if you're strapped. I was surprised how bright and clear they are...not muddy like typical low-end humbuckers. My RS wiring kit contributes to the clarity I'm sure. If you haven't rewired your Epi & installed some PIO caps, I suggest you do that before getting new pickups.
