Any pup recommendations for Carvin DC200?

[Feyd]

Trying to get my Carvin to sound like a Gibson. Billy Gill recommended Custom 5 bridge, Jazz neck.

Like: Radiohead, old Bowie/Ronson, Pink Floyd.

Custom Custom/ Alnico II Pro Humbucker will be fatter than the C5/jazz combo.

itll be warmer but in an all koa guitar (kinda middy) a c5 might sound great. i think one of those pups will probably work well for ya. the c5 hs more bottom but less mids so i think the c5 will be more les pauly while the cc might be more sg like. you arent gonna nail a gibson tone with a carvin but i think the guitar will sound killer with either set

I have a similar model (the single cutaway), and depending on the wood these guitars can be very bright. I'd recommend a fatter/warmer pickup combo just like this one.
