59 is good for classic rock lead...slighly higher output alnico 5's...stronger mangnet your classic humbucker  

my therory is the less pull on the strings the more sustain... have a look at a lace gold and how that works...

single coil but has much less pull on the strings and is suplosed to work well... I have one but haven't fitted it yet...

Thanks Bug - that's a cool sound !

There's too much choice - I'm now considering a Seymour Duncan Little 59 in the neck position so I could use the original pickguard, then drop a DiMarzio Twang King in the bridge and it's done.

Those full sized Toneriders do sound mellow, though........hmmmm :-)

This is also why Dolphins are clever than us as they just swim about having fun all day... and we have to do this before we get any fun..... (ie.work!)
