These pickups are amazing. I have Custom Shop Gibsons that are Historics and I went with Lindy’s Pure PAFs for those. However, I recently got a Les Paul Axcess Custom that had the stock Gibson pickups and they were not good. I went with the Modern High Output pickups here. These are high output pickups but do not let that fool you. They are still very articulate with great note separation. The neck pickup seems to be dark and full upon first listening to it, but when you get used to how versatile this pickup is, you quickly learn that that fullness is because there is so much definition in these pickups. I have 4 conductor on these and do series/parallel splitting and these pickups handle it so well with basically zero volume drop that it is like have 4 pickups on this guitar. The bridge pickup is clear and articulate. One would think a high output bridge will immediately break up but it does not, it stays clear and articulate just like a PAF, until you start to turn the drive up on the amp, then it pushes like a modern pickup but more like an overwound PAF. It is modern, but not with too much compression like some moderns tend to have. I am very satisfied with these.
