I tried a couple of pickups for a Les Paul Florentine (half body) with special specifications: less drafts that Gibson pickups, more accurate saturation (especially fat saturation) and capable of providing leads bluesy crunch without fail. Di Marzio guys advised me a couple of Air Classic B and Norton which complement each other perfectly. This is an alternative to paf: less saturated drafts, but logically less warm clear sound or light crunch. I use Norton neck pickup, and although it lacks a bit of softness and roundness in the clear (this is relative), it is much more interesting to play lead in crunch or saturation because it remains accurate and biting. We're just at the boundary between the classical and the modern micro bam. For fans of Robben Ford or Larry Carlton, this mic can be quite interesting. Some criticize his lack of character, the downside being a great flexibility, which allows it to provide in large saturation, where a vintage paf neck throw in the towel without tipping in sound or response "metal". In short, this is what I was looking for this guitar.
