Based on these, I'd say either a Miracle Man calibrated set, or Miracle Man bridge with Cold Sweat neck if neck cleans are important to you.

Change the pots to 500k (Gibson often fit 300k as standard) & it will sound savage :twisted: (Actually, it will sound pretty damn awesome with the stock 300k pots, but 500ks will open up the top end just a bit more & give it a little more "cut")

If you want to go totally OTT you could try a Warpig, or a Ceramic Warpig but I don't have either of these pickups (& have never tried either in a LP) so I can't comment in any detail...

What pickups does your LP have at the moment & what amp are you using?

For the bridge pup I think the Miracle Man sounds like a good choice if you want it very Metal or a Cold Sweat if you want it to have a slightly warmer tone. The MM is, as it's name suggests, very much like Zakk Wylde with Ozzy and the CS is based on the Gibson Dirty Fingers. In either case you can't go wrong with a CS in the neck.
