Help Upgrade my SG special worn faded

So Ive had my SG for about almost 3 years? and have not changed anything to it besides strings, currently have Gibsons Nickelwound 10s, everything is stock for now but I want to upgrade the pickups for my babe haha. What pickups would you guys recommend that are versatile? I play rock, surfer rock, some jazz, etc I mainly play on clean. Much appreciated guys! =D

Seymour Duncan Jazz (SH2) in the neck, JB (SH4) or custom 5 (SH14) in the bridge are not bad and very versatile.

Here's a simple solution: put covers on the pickups. This tames the high end, and makes it a really nice solid body electric.

I did it. I also added a Bigsby B-5/Vibramate to it and it was a fine solid-body electric.

Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded Humbucker Set and more Guitar Pickups & Parts at GuitarCenter.com.
These seem to have good reviews. Anybody tried them?

I put SD Seth Lovers on my last ('96) SG and liked the result for jazz and general duties. Could still get the Angus Young thing when I wanted too.

I like the Duncan SH1N in the neck position of my ES135.
