Update on my feelings...
Mules RULE! My housemate Rob was playing them through the Orange Rockerverb 50 yesterday REALLY loud and I was just sat there grinning for about half an hour.
LOVING the Mules!

Congrats man! You're gonna love 'em.
I've just been jamming along to 'Blues on Later... with Jools Holland' on iPlayer. I don't even care if I wake up the neighbours - they'll just have to appreciate the TONE!

The mules really reflect the tone of the guitar a lot better than the SDs did, which is a really good thing, because this guitar has a great acoustic tone - really vibrant.
LOVING the Mules!

try an Axbraxas set for a hotter PAF set - they're residing in my Les Paul at the minute and I'm loving them after years of Mules in there.

I've played through the mules on several occasions and like everyone else, believe they're superb.
However, I tend to agree with  HThell. The Abraxas can be used in much the same way as the Mules and cleans up brilliantly whilst preserving all the juice of a great PAF, but wound up, theres just more punch available.
The Abraxas is my favourite pickup for the the ages because its the best sound I've heard throughout the volume range.
Good luck and keep playing.

I like these more and more every day - they simply make me want to play!
I think these are my favourite pickups so far! I don't know if I've ever enjoyed playing guitar so much!
They are so sweet sounding, so versatile, so organic, so perfectly balanced, so DAMN expressive. I can't recommend Mules enough to anybody with a LP styled guitar.
I've also dropped so Sprague Orange Drop capacitors into the guitar which have had a subtle but positive effect (definitely worth the £3). I'm basically 100% happy with my Edwards; it looks and sounds like the perfect LP guitar.

So...which guitar's up next?
LOVING the Mules!
