WTB a pair of SD 59s or Seth Lovers or...?

I'm not liking the harshness of the Gibson p'ups in my ES 137. And I love everything else about it. Since I've liked SD 59s before and they are amazing in my chambered Bluesbird, I want to give those a shot. I'd rather not buy a new set, then decide I want to try Antiquities, the decide I want to try Fralins, etc. etc. Who knows... maybe I'd like GFS best or something Unka Gregy pushes.

Anyway, hit me up with anything you'd unload. Let's talk! Requirements:

Not too hot. Or at least not SOUNDING too hot.

More dark than bright. Not twangy or jangly, no Filtertrons.

Fits humbucker spaces

I'm playing a semihollow into a Laney VC30, so some Britpop sounds get me in the ballpark, as do classic Lester sounds. The hollowness of the ES seems to brighten everything so I'm kinda thinking single-coils such as Phat Cats are out, but on the other hand I loved the sound of my old Artist with P90s (damn I regret selling it to Riffpowers). I alos once had Harmonic Designs V90s in a Duotone that sounded fabulous.

Whatcha got? Thanks!

I don't have a set, but I have a black SD '59 that came out of my chambered Studio that I'll sell you if you're interested. PM me if you are.

Got a set of brand new Seths. Bought them last year for my Humbucker SG that I sold recently and never used them.
