I wasn't happy with the stock SD '59s (too dark, lacked clarity) so I popped in a set of TVJones Magnatrons. Big difference in sound (for the better). The bridge pu is amazing and is somewhere in the Dynasonic/Telecaster zone. In fact, if blindfolded, I'd swear it was a single coil pickup rather than a humbucker. The neck pickup isn't as bright as I thought it would be, but it has more clarity than the original SD so that's good. As a bonus, the pu covers are chrome which match the other hardware better than the nickle covers on the Duncans. All in all, I'm pleased and I'm sure the Bluesbird will get more play time now.
