Replacing SD 59 pick ups on my 2014 H-150

[Andyv94]

Well I ordered the new Seymour Duncan Custom Shop “The Blonde Dot” 1960 ES 335 Joe Bonamassa Signature Humbucker Pick Up set signed by him and Mr. Seymour Duncan. 
Well, after I installed them the bridge pick up was no bueno, so Sweetwater is sending me another pair, but the neck sounded VERY nice, very full and rich but precise and clear. 
So I also order the SD Custom Shop High Voltage Humbucker aged nickel. I want to compare them and see which one I like the best. Very different pick ups, excited to get them both and put them on my guitar and go to town. Really enjoy the Seymour Duncan brand! 👍🏻

So,  I wonder what the difference between the Blonde Dot pickup is from a standard  Seth Lover,  since they are both supposed to be a PAF pickup (besides the use of an A4 in the bridge position).    Were the Blonde Dot's pickups some freak coincidence of winding that give them a sound that is distinctly different from the "normal" PAF?    I know that for a time PAFs were supposedly wound without using a counter, but I don't know if that was true in 1960.   Besides the signatures from Duncan and Bonamassa and the fancy box,  what commands a $100 premium over a SL?

What's the difference between grits and polenta?

Nobody writes blues lyrics with polenta in them

I’ll let you know once I get the Blonde Dot pick ups, hopefully with no issues. 
But to me, the Pearly Gates are fantastic, specially for the price!! 
I’ve never played the Seth Lovers although come to find out my guitar originally came with them and the previous owner switch them out and put 59’s in the guitar.
