I have a lovely 1982 Love Rock Custom that is completely stock. Although I've played for many years, I have no real experience with humbuckers outside of this gem. She sounds quite wondeful to me, but lately I've been wondering how much better she could be made to sound.
So , I am appealing to all you pickup-gurus. How much better can she sound if I were to replace the pickups? I don't want to deviate too far from her ancestory but did they not also use DMarzio and Seymour Duncans? How much sweeter would she be with some 59's or Antiquities in her? Is it worth the expense or are the stock pups in her more than adequate?
Thanks - I look forward to hearing your opinions and experiences.
