I've been trying to get tone close to this

I've had Seymour Duncan's Lollars and David Allen pickups, all close but no cigar.

I emailed wolfetone he thought the marshallhead pickups might get
You close to that sound and still clean up pretty good.

I have actually been preferring my Seymour Duncan 59's over my Lollar Imperials lately.

Going from my Trey-ish settings on my Mesa Boogie, I can get a good traditional jazz or Scofield tone easily. For a more traditional jazz tone, I'd just turn off my effects, neck pickup, and use my thumb for mellow chords. For Scofield, bridge pickup, pull-bass on my Mesa (adds more/deeper bass), and get out my Dunlop Primetone Jazz III.

Any experience with Gibson 57s or Seth Lovers??? Im sure they would nail down the jazz but for jammy stuff/a good amount of overdrive??
