IMO, the '59 is great for a vintage tone but also hands fairly high gain lead well. More people use them than I can even write down. Best I've heard them used combining vintage with gain would be any solos by Mark Morton.

AN7 is also a great choice and has a very smooth tone to it. Petrucci used them back in the day, and if memory serves correctly the custom JP neck pickup is a modified AN.

My old RR3 had a SD Jazz in the neck and for me, it really didn't do much. It was like "OK, thats not bad but I'm not really wowed by it"

I'd say for the '59
