Hi,
Quick background,
I am really a fender Player, and my go to guitar is a telecaster. I do however have a 2017 Les Paul blueberry burst Les Paul standard ( not the HP version). I bought it on a whim last year for a ridiculous price, from a person who decided to sell it after only having it for a few months.
The guitar is probably the most attractive thing i have ever owned. I really like how it plays, the set up i had done is great and it is easy to play and the neck is fabulous.
But,
I really really hate the sound of the two pickups. I play with others who have got different versions of Les Paul guitars and this guitar is not up to their sound. My guitar sounds overly muffled, dark sounding or if i try to brighten it up then harsh. It does not have the clarity and creamy sounds that i associate with this model and make. I have played hum buckers before but i do not like these pickups. I do like the idea of the split coils but again there is really not that good a tone to warrant having these.
Q, is there a set of pickups i can put into this guitar which will give me the tone! i am not a overdrive , pedal type of guy, and like clean jazzy/blues tones. keeping the split coils would be helpful, but not a necessity.
