Regardless of my style, I'd like to see what the masses think should go in my LP.

Tough one - especially with no clues
As it has a maple neck too.
I'd rather like Cold Sweat for my own specific use , but I do love the Abraxas as a general great sounding workhorse - so that is what I voted for

The HD and MM have never appealed to me much, so it's a straight choice between the other two.  Since there's a lot of maple involved, and I think the CS suits not-so-bright mahogany guitars, I'm voting Abraxas.

In that case I would say Mules, the ultimate 59 PAF-tone, but ok, let's stick to the four options.  :)

As a general purpose pickup for a Les Paul you cannot go wrong with the Abraxas set (my vote). The bridge has more power than a vintage style pickup and is able to do 80s and some more modern stuff decently. The neck is clear enough for almost anything.

If you wanted more 80s feeling, Holydiver (on the warm side), Rebel Yell or Cold Sweat (on the brighter side) would do it. Want to go heavier - go Miracle Man.

Cheers Stephan

Mule woulda been my ideal selection here, but Abraxas is the best of the bunch listed.

Well I guess these are just our opinions on a very blank question. If you want Cold Sweat, I'm sure you can find one! I sure wouldn't complain about getting any BKP!

Yeah I agree, seems that any BKP I consider has tons of people praising it weather it's a cold sweat or a stormy.. I guess I can't go wrong either way.
