I dunno - they were all the rage in the '80s. Even back then the product line had a lot of choices.
I finally got an 81 in 88 or so and promptly butchered that Jackson I have. Wish I hadn't done that.
If you knew who the right guys who did some fancy wiring, you certainly can do a lot with them, even mix them with passives. Knopfler's Pensa/Suhr for example. SA/SA/85, SPC modified to a simple switch and a resistor/cap to get the #2 quack sound.
The Gilmour set sounded great on the Floyd albums, but in my personal experience, a bit meh.
