The installed pickups are Seymour Duncan '59's.

Correction,the bridge pickup is a ‘59 and the neck pickup is a JMBP.

That's probably an older Seymour Duncan '59, which I dig. I had a neck version in my Les Paul, and I was really pleased.

I think the JMB-P is a SD Jazz Model Bridge pickup. That seems like it would be a nice setup for that guitar. I'm eager to hear what you think of it. Outside of HB-1s, I'd rather have those PUs instead of EMGs.

The neck pickup is where it’s at on this guitar. Don’t know much about the SD JMB-P, but it’s hot and sounds great!!

I think the JMB-P is a SD Jazz Model Bridge pickup.

Yes, and P is either Patty Vasquez if the pickup was wound until 1986 or Lupe Perez if the pickup was wound after 1986. No idea how to find out the before or after 1986 however. Here is another example picture:

After playing and tinkering with the setup, I have decided to let this one go back into the wild. I dont dive deep into guitar setups, I usually let the pro's do that, but I think this guitar has a bit of a heel hump, or maybe just needs the frets leveled properly.
