Humbucker is DiMarzio Virtual PAF (older models had PAF Pro).
Single Coils - well it's a little hard to judge because in the stock wiring only the neck pickup get's used on its own but I think it is a little warmer than many single coils (which can sound a little thin in comparison). Nice gentle mid range punch. It never gets harsh or brittle sounding high up the neck.

Dr. Kev knows about the Silo Spec. As you know, I changed the pup's in mine, but those single coils were perfect. It was the bridge humbucker that I didn't care for.
Dimarzio told me they are very close to blue velvety...so I concur...guitar should be fine for classic rock, if not change out the HB, I have 2 of me and I changed the buckler in both but left the single coils, they nice and warm like Kev said...
