Still love mine. It fills the sounds I need it to beautifully, always happy when I pick it up. If only it had a WF neck, it would be perfect.
 
The Squabbin 57/08’s are part of the magic sauce.

That guitar can do pretty much anything you throw at it.
Those pickups are probably of the hotter variety of the 57/08s. I have a set of uncovered squabbin 57/08s in my P22 Trem. They came stock in it. They are in the same range as the set I bought for my 594 back in 2017. They definitely have that extra little push and they retain the openness of the 57/08 pickups.

I have an old set of 57/08s in my core SAS. I have had them in there for most of it's life. I put a Fralin blues special in the middle slot. The guitar does just about anything I ask it to do. As I have been thinking of what guitars will be the next ones to go from the collection, I have thought about putting the stock pickups back in my SAS and possibly moving it. I know if I do that I will have a very hard time finding another one if I ever decided I wanted it back. That will probably make it be later in the purge if it goes anywhere. I have a couple of others in this same category and I am not sure which ones I like better. That is probably why my purge is a slow purge. :)

They definitely have more “oomph” and aggression than the 57/08’s typically have.

I have OG unetched 57/08 & 59/09 in my HB spruce and while they are “tamer” they fit that guitar perfectly.
