OK, I have to ask...

Hmmm...  VHII..? 

Just had a look at them online.  I guess that they're not that hot.  9.2k - I guess that the neck would be slightly less than that in a calibrated set.

I hope I'm making the right decision going "Vintage"(hot)? 

There was a thread a while back where Henk (what happened to him?) explained that the VHII is a true "Hot PAF" because it's the hottest you can possibly wind a pickup using vintage spec 42 gauge plain enamel wire.

Or something like that.  I'm just saying what I heard.  :?

I remember the post...  might dig it out.

Sorry, I've been listening to Sarah Palin too much.

'Vintage Hot' doesn't mean that it can't rock hard.

[When it comes to pickups, (Gibson) SGs, Vs, Juniors etc are pretty temperamental as to what will work, but you hardly ever hear someone saying a pickup isn't suited to a Les Paul.

My Abraxas set really didn't work in my 53 conversion Les Paul, whether it was the weight or the fact that the maple cap is slightly thinner on the 53's I don't know.  However Black Dogs sound great in it (all the Page sounds are there), and the Abraxas set sounds excellent in my Hamer Sunburst (much deeper maple cap on it than the 53).

^ That comment made no sense! Are you endorsing them or knocking them?!

Anywho ... any closer to a decision?

I know, I know. 

There are so many options, and I truely believe that there are very few BAD ones.  For the tones I was after, and in that guitar, Tim was very definite about Mules.

Will have Riff Raffs, Black Dogs and Mississippi Queens one day...
