I was thinking about putting a set of Seymour Duncan 59's in my Epiphone Sheraton 2. I play jazz, some blues, and rock(i.e. The Who, Rush, Phish, Cream) on this guitar. Does anyone have any opinions or advice regarding these p/ups, and would they be appropriate for these styles of music? Any help would be appreciated.

Are reffering to the Lil 59 stacked humbucker? Is what I'm getting to replace the singlecoil in the neck. Is more of a country pickup. Have you checked out the SD Cool Rails? You might be happier with those. You can hear examples of each on their website. If you hook your guitar amp up to your computer you can get a good idea of what they sound like. Might as well listen to the Hot Rails while you are at it but not sure how good they would be for Blues - think the Cools would be better. The Guitar Fetish has something they call a 59. Might be wound for the same sound and they are about half the price.

Stratfan7, those pups are perfect for what you are playing. If you are budget minded you might want to try some 59s from Guitarfetish.com. I just recently put a set in my semi-hollow body and they sound great.

I can recommend the 'Lil 59 also. I have one in an old Epiphone Olympic which is like a Melody Maker and also in the bridge of my American Deluxe. Awesome rock pickup IMHO.
