Honestly, They are the farthest from vintage tone other than Dirty Fingers and Iommi pickups.
I prefer a set of 490R/490T. This pair is a jack of all trades, and covers a large range of music genres.
Cheap to buy compared to the 57's/BBPro's/BB1,2,3.
A second hand pair with vintage style wiring runs like ~$75 on fleabay
(4-wire is sold as an accessory, and vintage wire are stock equipment)
Good for Mr. B.B.King. Good enough for me.
