Hi YJJG,
I agree with JV on this...pickups are important to electric guitar.
I have a epi dot deluxe, the pickups weren't bad, however, when I
compared the epi's stock pickup to the Gibson 490R in my les paul,
there was a big difference, not only in output, but a more balanced
and "tighter" tone, also more dynamic, and not as "transparent" the
epi stock pickup. I just purchased a Epi SG custom with the 3
humbucker pickups, I probably will leave them , unless they are
really flat in repsonse; however, I don't know if I will spend the
money on gibson pickups, they get kinda of pricey; but I do like
gibson's pickups currently, really nice ...the 490R is nice all
around pickup, and alot of folks really like the 57 classics, and
the 57 classic plus...
there's tons of pickups on the mkt. a good basic PAF copy is the
kent armstrong vintage C ...it's about 50 - 60 bucks a piece...ken
is making a good pickup for the money!

I would recommend replacing your humbucker with a TV Jones TV'Tron

It makes a HUGE difference in sound (not playability).

Does a good pickup really change the sound? I mean, I have
always
thought that the sound is in your fingers, and nothing else
matters.
Last year I bought chinesse Epi Dot with serial Epiphone pups,
and
to
my vast surprise they sound good. Will any Gibson 57 or Seymour
make
me sound better?
