DimMarzio Humbucker from Hell. Despite what the name suggests, it's a very clean humbucker.

I really like the standard Gibson humbuckers, might be worth a look.

Yeah, those gibson burstbuckers are a really nice full sounding pickup

On the cheap I'd recommend something from the SKY range, all of those pickups are nice in one way or another

I'm real happy with the SD Jazz I put into my Explorer - much better than the stock Gibson ceramic which sounded pretty nasty and muffled..

The SD jazz is a nice sounding pickup for that position, although I'd suspect a 57 would sound cool too, if you want to keep it Gibson.

Shouldn't F-spaced be perfectly fine for the Mockingbird? Since it's got a floyd on there... Plus with those oversized monster pole pieces, who can tell, haha.

I've currently got an Ibanez Les Paul with a '59 in the bridge.

It sounds fantastic.

I've done a clip in the tone clip section, called You gotta Move, which has the LP clean as a rhythm. Check it out. It's running through an AC30...
