Hmm I agree with the JB/59 set being good pickups but man i can't stand those HZ's. I played a beautiful jackson that had some and i was disappointed greatly. They produce an alright clean tone but for that you are better off buying seymour duncans that will perform better in both; distortion and clean. My 2 cents. If anything dimarzio has great pickups. I own EMG's, Dimarzio and Seymours and i cant complain with my dimarzio pickups, their site also has an awesome feature that lets you listen to all the pickups in bridge or neck position.
