So, I'm gonna through out a term, diminishing returns :) I believe I have hit that ceiling when I am replacing what are perfectly fine, fantastic, if you will, pick-ups that came in my Gibson Standard 60's Plain Top (purchased here, and amazing in every way, I just can't leave well enough alone).
That search for "the perfect guitar tone" is a sickness! One most of us are inflicted with unfortunately. So, yes, buy them, they're amazing sounding pick-ups that sit in the middle quite nicely.
I'm a huge FUZZ FAN, and they sound great with your Les Paul set to the middle position and the rhythm volume/tone rolled off just (between 9 - 8.5).
Once dialed in with my FUZZ (using the JHS muffuletta and a Tube Screamer post muff, just boosting the muff and filling some mid) these pick-ups really shine, it's what finally makes them worth the money, the tone chasing, and replacing what are already great Gibson pick-ups.
Sorry for the book but my point is one I think most of us understand. You don't "need" these, but if you have the disposable funds, might as well invest in your madness! I'm sure happy I did!

Telecaster on steriods, cleans up great and roar like angry cat
i have the aged CS version but the pickup is the same

use em to cover alot of sounds with a Lespaul in a coverband

If you have done your homework, and this is the sound you were looking for, then these pickups will deliver that sound smooth and wildly. I get unbelievable sound out of my Bargain priced used Epiphone Les Paul standard now. I rewired it for Jimmy page style wiring then bought these pickups. I consider it a $1000 guitar now. I think I am going to love this guitar for a long long time. These pickups were worth the price to me. I am not sorry that I bought them, and I am normally a cheap person.

This is my second set. It's just about all I need in a humbucker. Perfect for blues, rock, and more. There's a lot of great pickups out there but lack identity. The PGs are great for SGs/Les Paul's. If your not a blues guy though this may not be for you. They definitely have a legit classic rock quality.
