59' is a pretty nice one. The biggest issue with mixing Hums and singles is balancing them out between each other and pot selection. a 500k would bring that pickup to it's most lively potential in my experience, whereas the stocks will be cheap 250ks which are better suited for singles. Some humbuckers will be muddy and gross with the wrong pots. Some will be too loud and harsh when mixed with the singles. It's a (fun) tightrope walk. Might be fun to buy something used and play around.
