Anybody try the Gibson Calibrated T-type pickups?

[fusedbrain]

Curious about these.
I have a set of MCP T-wrecks that are fantastic, and I would love another set, but not sure I want to put myself through another MCP ordering ordeal.
I can get a set of the Gibson pickups delived to my door in about 3-5 days, at about the same price.
Any other options?

I created a thread that turned out quite a number of responses cause I got a set in a newer 335 and really enjoy them. Might be worth a read:

Man these are a great set of pickups in a 335 with a Twin for playing the blues. So juicy with the right amount of compression. Never muddy. Plenty of bite but the compression kills any harsh trebles in the highs for the most part. Clarity in the neck blows the '57 classic away but still fat enough to sound great for chording. If you are just looking for a great blues or classic rock neck pickup it'd be a top choice unless you can't deal with something unpotted due to rig constraints. I spend a lot of time on the neck, even for solos so it's ideal. It's hard to explain in words but man...

Thanks!
Yeah, I should probably make more use of the search function

No worries brother it was a legitimate question! I just thought I'd send you there since that whole thread blew up way beyond what I figured would happen since a bunch of guys chimed in with experiences and other similar pickup recommendations and comparisons.
