Recent Discovery - The tone that I really like are found in the vintage ones, that of the 60's.
How to achieve it? Weak pickups (low output pickups) or vintage pickups should do the trick.
Gibson PAF humbucker
PAF stands for Patented Applied For. Copyrights I think? Anyways, low output pickups produce this sweeter, clean sound. Very bluesy and jazzy, but not particularly helpful for metal. For metalheads, look for high output pickups like the Seymour Duncan Dimebucker for that melting shredder tone. 
My favourite tone. The P90 pickups. Nicknamed the soapbar, I'm sure you see the similarities now. This thing can bite and bark and whimper all at the same time! 
Looking for Jimi tone? These single coils should do the trick!
