Closest current PU to McCarties?

[TroyBaer]

I had my '06 McRosie out this weekend for the first time in a while, and once again I was blown away by how great that guitar sounds. In particular, the neck pickup in it is just magnificent. I'd love to put something similar in my SC250 (which currently has the stock PUs in it), and I'm a little bummed that the McCarty PUs are no longer available.

I know the current production McCarties have 58/15s, but those aren't available separately AFAICT and the specs for them aren't well known. So, what current production PUs are most similar to the old McCarty PUs? (They need not be PRS, though it would be nice if they were...)

You can find McCartys on the 2nd hand market if you're willing to be patient, but obviously the guitars are going to sound very different with the different body and neck. That said, it could be cool to compare...

If I lived in the states and owned an early Singlecut, I'd be sending mine to the PTC for them to install a set (and by set, I mean 3) 57/08s for me.

Yup. You can get used McCarty pickups pretty reasonable.
