Great advice I will add that even if you still don't like the way the humbuckers sound all is not lost because you can change the magnets from alnico 2's to alnico 4's or alnico 5's to 2's etc I always hear about changing out the pickups for new ones and it's waste of your hard earned cash when you can use what the maker put inside of your cranium. here's a video
Finding the neck Gibson Classic '57 pickup a bit too warm for my liking, I replaced the magnet with an A5 magnet and the pickup totally came to life, rich and much more sparkly bright.
Other easy mods to increase tonal range:
1) replace the volume pot on the neck pickups with a higher resistance pot
2) remove the covers from the humbuckers
