So I love this guitar. Hands down my favorite guitar. Ive owned it for 6 months now and I've really tried to like the pickups. Im not one to jump right into changing anything about a guitar. But Im struggling with them, particularly the bridge. The neck tone is really nice, but not the best I've heard. The bridge just seems searingly bright and pretty low output. Like palm muting just doesn't have anything behind it. I play mostly blues, classic rock, to hard rock. Not much metal or super high gain. Maybe some metallica once in a while.
So Im looking for some suggestions. I dont want to spend a fortune on pickups. Maybe the $200 range for a set. I like that paf vintage les paul sound quite a bit. Pearly gates and 36th anniversary P pafs were on my radar but Ive also seen people say PG are little thin and bright. I've also seen some pictures where people put pickups in these with covers and it looks killer, so I would probably go that route. What do you guys think?
