craigjc	Re: Pickup recommendations? For a medium-high output pickup with a very articulate and clear tone, I recommend Bill Lawrence's L-500. The whole thin blade design is resposible for the clarity. Besides being favored by Joe Perry and others, I have heard these in person and they seem to have way more balanced tone than a PAF-type humbucker. Think high-fidelity without going EMG/active electronics. Here's a link to the pickup on Bill's site: http://www.billlawrence.com/Pages/Pickup_Window/500.htm
