I've been researching for pickups for my next LP and wasnt sure what Jon may recommend for a JP Pre 72 style pickup set. The Demos of the Pre and Post 72 sets from Rewind seems promising as well but theyre much more expensive and have a longer wait time. My current LP i had a set custom made from Manlius with his standard 7.6k Short Alnico 5 T-Top in the bridge, and an 8.6k Alnico 2 PAF in the neck. It works surprisingly well despite being such a hot neck pickup as well as the middle position does the post 72 Page quack very well. Still I was very impressed with the demos of the SLE-101's, had great neck clarity and middle position quack. Basically I'm seeking the most strat-like neck PAF that still has some good output, and a nice quack in the middle position. Rewind's JP Neck pickup is 8.6k with a slightly degaussed unoriented alnico 5 magnet but surely Jons approach to Page could be very different.

Rewinds and throbaks are nearly the same price, amigo- not sure why you think they’re different

ReWinds are $70 more a set. Not all that much more in the grand scheme of things, but at the $500+ price range every dollar seems like a lot.

Have you considered Wizz? He makes pre and post ‘72 sets as well.
