As far as I'm concerned...
...the 58/15s are the best humbucking pickups I've ever played. In fact, I like them so much that I happily sold a vintage Les Paul with '59 PAFs because my new PRS (a PS McCarty with somewhat unique-to-me specs) with 58/15s sounds so much better to me.
With respect to the comment about "less pronounced low mids," here's the thing. Did you notice Paul also said that when a producer gets ahold of your band's tracks, the first thing they do is EQ the guitars so there's less low-mids and more upper-mids? If you don't ever do any serious recording or serious listening to how a guitar sits in a band mix, especially if you play by yourself a lot, you tend to think that your guitar sounds BITCHEN when all those low mids are in there. It's why Gibson sells a bajillion Historic Les Pauls. The problem is, all those low mids do is muddy up a mix. Maybe (just maybe) if you're playing through a really great vintage-style Marshall amp, the amp will re-EQ your guitar and all will be well. But for everyone else it's better to have them not be so prominent in the guitar's voice.
