Pick-up replacement

[Dratz]

I recently purchased a 2016 custom 24 SE. I love everything about it except for the pick-ups. Neck and bridge are both entirely to bassey. Wondering what pick-ups would be a good replacement

Need more info. Music you play, tones you’re going after, amps you use, etc.

Also pickup height, kind of strings you use, and the string gauge as well. As DTR has alluded, the amp can make a huge difference. If you’re using the same tone settings you use for other guitars then that would be your problem.

Ok then...

Based on that information, you should get a Nissan Frontier and a Toyota Tacoma.

Clearly we have intimidated the new guy with our wealth of knowledge and insight.

I can't believe he fell for it.

Say what? I need to disregard my copious notes?

Of course not those, they sound important. But maybe some of the other ones.

Have you tried lowering the pickups while raising the adjustable polepieces?

My pickups don't have pole pieces, they're flat covered like active pickups. I bought it used and I'm not positive they're the original pickups

I play rock, southern rock and 80's metal

Also I use a bugera v55 which is a fender hot rod deluxe clone

 

[Coral Sky Music]

PRS 59/09's would be a good choice.
Seymour Duncan JB 4c & 59 4c also a good choice for an SE Custom 24 and the style of music you are playing.

I put Dimarzio super Distortions in my SE.

They’re not.

Unless you’ve got bat inlays?
