Last band I played with had a guy that played only through mini's - LP Deluxes, Firebirds, Epi's. He had tried them all at one point or another it seemed. I got a chance to hear a variety as a result.

Duncan Antiquity would be my first choice. Duncan Vintage would be my second, Duncan Custom Shop split mini-humbuckers would be my third choice.

The new Gibsons, like you find on the new LP Deluxes, are good but I haven't seen them for sale anywhere.

To my ears the Rio Grande versions are harsh sounding. I have yet to find a GFS pickup of any kind that I like but i'll keep an open mind...never have heard their mini. I've never heard the Lollars either.

The Duncans are quite consistently good though, especially the Antiquity's.
