looking for pickup suggestions PRS SE Zach Myers 2018

[evan47]

I have just bought a PRS SE Zach Myers 2018 model for a silly price in the sales.
The Zach plays really well even with the stock 09s (wich I will swap out for 10s) and has a nice resonant body.
Sound wise it is raunchier than expected, on the bright side but warms up to my tastes with the volume or tone wound down a little for rythym work and winding the controls back to 10 helps it cut through nicely but I am curious as to which is the fave SD pickup set to put in it for an upgrade?
I was thinking of a JB/Jazz or JB/59 which I have used in the past or maybe a Custom 5/59 set.
What are ZM players using for upgrades?
Are any of them changing pots/caps or wiring instead of new pups?
I play classic rock and am into bands like Thin Lizzy, Led Zep, Boston, Skynyrd, ufo, msg and others.

Sounds to me like you are happy with your current pickups. What don't you like about them? Based off of your description and my experience, your stock guitar can easily pull off all of those bands provided you have an amp that will also comply with those demands.

I decided to try the MXR 6 band Graphic EQ pedal before the amp to adjust the voice of the guitar ( upping the mids and cutting the highs just a little ) and it seems to have done the trick.
