Best Answer

Absolutely depends on the genre of music you play with it. Most of the people are happy with the stock Gibson pickups that come with Gibson Les Pauls, these might be Burstbuckers, Classic 57s, 496R-500Ts, 490R-498Ts. These pickups are usually good for most kinds of music.

You can also choose to fit your Les Paul with pickups from different manufacturers, like Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, EMG, Suhr, Bare Knuckle, etc. These pickups are usually fine-tuned for a given tone, so they might be a good choice if you are into something specific.
