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 agree with Alex.  Miracle Men sound great in Les Pauls.

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

Mules are perfect for classic Les Paul-tones and can cover every ground.

PG Blues - I have a set in my 59 reissue and they cover all the classic Les Paul vintage tones - i.e. Green. Clapton, Bloomfield.
