290s
Re: 290s
I remember 1957 - but just barely. I was 5 years old.
Tail fins were best in '57. Blueberry Hill was my favorite record - I had just discovered what a radio was. I thought Eisenhower was my Grandpa...
I like the oft-overlooked 'mini humbucker' for a fuller tone.

Seymour Duncan vintage 59 59NJ SH-1n wound by Maricela Juarez 1980s (link above).
My 1961 Gibson Les Paul Junior with SD mini's from the early 80's:
It was given to me covered in 1960's decoupage from teenage rock magazines. I removed the crud and left it unfinished mahogany. I put a 'forearm relief' on it with a band sander. It also has bass frets - no 'jumbos' available in those days!
It sings!
