Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queen or Nantucket HSP for Melody Maker

[shaps6]

I know this isn't a Warmoth post, but I figured I'd ask you awesome folks for help anyway.

I've got a 2011 Gibson Melody Maker Les Paul (with a maple body) that I'd like to pop a humbucker-size P90 into. Debating between a Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queen and a Nantucket.

Anybody have any experience with these pickups? Got any recommendations?

I play mostly blues, classic rock, and indie (whatever the heck that means these days). Highest gain setting I'll go is something Van Halen esque.

I have a gold Duncan Phat Cat that's never been installed anywhere, and a black&chrome GFS Mean 90 if you'd be interested in either, and I'll def. let you have either at a much better price than your BK will set you back.  PM me if you're interested.

Went with the Nantucket. Will report back once it's installed.
