I know that in John's Black1 - 83 there are pickups that were originally custom wound by John. At least that's what I read somewhere. I'm trying to get as close as possible to this:

I've had a few recommendations (Lollar Vintage Blonde, Fender Custom 60's, Klein Jazzy Cats). What do you guys think would be my best bet?

Welcome.

IMOH, the closest you'll get is Fender's CS69s.

Hmm...I haven't heard that recommendation before. Have you tried the other ones?

I've heard them all which is why I said the CS69s.

John Mayer generally scoops his mids. If you hear a subtle quack, it's in position 4. Don't have the tone knobs all the way up too. Also, it depends on the amp too. Anyways though, CS69's and scoop the mids on an equalizer.
