Tried both the A5 and the A8 as replacements in my Custom Custom, and went back to the A2. It just worked better in "THAT" Les Paul. Yours may differ.
 
I never touch my tone controls, though the pickup is mid heavy, but not in spiky way. On the clean side, you can really tell it’s slamming the front end harder than it’s ALNICO relatives. And yes, not as compressed as ceramic. I never find the tone charts especially helpful for mid voicing. Low mids can be perceived as bass and high mids can be perceived as treble.

I like the tone
 
I have a set of alnico 8 Peg City Pickups Angry Widows coming for my Goldtop. I'm hoping it sounds good. I have a JB and Jazz in it now which sound good, but just wanted to try something different. If they don't work in there, I'm gonna try them in my silverburst lpc.
