My experience is a great piece of wood does not care that much about pickups.
As long as they are in high-quality Paf configurations.
Buy another guitar that does not need a pickup change.
Pickups do not change that much of the sound.
I agree and would add that you should check what value pots are in your guitar. At one point Gibson was using 300k vol. pots and 100k tones, makes for a really dark sounding guitar. Many players have changed out the pickups on those guitars when all they had to do was change to all 500k pots to liven the guitar up.

New harness with 500k pots and caps is the least expensive route, and something many do anyway. The RS-kits are very good, and you may find that it makes you a lot happier. If not, then swap pickups.
