D Style Pickups

[paulstar08]

I'm looking for some pickups that could replace me D-Style pickups on my studio. Something that is the same size but has more presence and bite. I am not looking for hotter pickups, I feel the d-style pickups have a nice output to them. They just lack some character and presence. I was looking at my guitar and thought maybe a p90 or a mini humbucker would fit. Does anyone have any experience changing the pickups on these guitars?

Thanks a bunch

I believe those Type-D pickups are the same dimensions as mini humbuckers. Measure to be sure. If that's the case, you have a ton of options without even need a new pickguard.

Maybe look into some gold foil pickups. Never tried them but I know some are made in the same size.

There are a few brands that make them. GFS being the most affordable, if you just want to try without a big financial commitment.
