Hi Folks. My 2016 CE 24 is the guitar I've used in various weekend bands, and I like most everything about it except the bridge pickup. (I want to keep the neck pickup.) To my ear it's a bit too nasal/honky. It's not horrible (I can make it work with the Helix I use for gigs), but in an ideal world it would have a little less bite and less midrange - "warmer," maybe is a way to describe it.
My question: Has anyone felt the same way and successfully replaced the bridge pickup? How difficult was it? Was the wiring confusing? I'd still want the coil split/tap to work well, which I imagine (?) would limit which replacement pickups would work well. I'd also want the output volume to match the stock neck pickup (which I love, BTW).
Finally, I'd really like to know what specific replacement bridge pickup you chose, and how it ended up comparing to the stock one.
Thanks!
