I second don't go changing the pickups just because you can. There was a point where i was about to swap out every pickup i owned for BKP's just because. Then i sat and listened to the what i had and decided i some of my guitars sounded great as they where. Saying that the main change was on my PRS. It's a MCarty and while the hardwear and wood spec was what i was looking for, the pickups weren't. Mcarty pickups just weren't ouputty or modern enough for me. i still think there's a guitar those Mcarty pickups will work for me in. Maybe a Guild S100 if i can ever get the hold of one.
