Stormy Mondays - more or less as close as one can possibly get to an original PAF of that era. Alternatively Mules for a little bit more power as per late '59.

I'd put PG Blues in it because I'm a big Peter Green fan and because they sound great as individual pickups, with the added benefit of the 'out of phase' sound when both are on. 
So many pickups, so little time
