I have a Matsumoku Burny Les Paul with what appear to be L8000 pickups. I know most people think these pickups are undesirable, but I like them a lot. I'm interested in blues, not hard rock, and these pickups make some very sweet, hot, rounded sounds when you add a little distortion.
Here is my question: can anyone suggest a similar pickup for another guitar? I can't find old Burny pickups anywhere, but I have a History 335 clone, and I wish it had L8000s. I have read that VH-2 pickups are probably about the same, but they're no easier to find than L8000s.
I am considering Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates pickups, but I'm going on lame information gathered from the Duncan site and Youtube videos.
