IMO switching to a Seth neck would be a noticeable improvement overall, one that you could quickly get used to. Clearer highs & mids, better dynamics, better air, better note separation across chords, less tubby in the lows and less congested in the low mids without sacrificing richness or punch.

There's a reason why the old Epi pickups became known as mudbuckers.

Well this was the kind of feedback I was hoping for. I think maybe the old Silverface Fender amp I used in the studio managed to demud the Epi PU a bit. But now when I'm back with my usual Blues Deluxe Reissue amp, well there's the muddyness again. Thank you!

Amplifier is more important to tone than pickups. A great amp can make crap pickups sound acceptable. A crappy amp will make awesome pickups sound mediocre.

If you liked the sound through a silverface Fender, then go get one - you obviously like the sound.

If you love all the sounds from your Blues Deluxe but hate your neck pickup through it then swap pickups.

But a great guitar sound makes you feel like you can play better, which is why there is such focus on every aspect of the chain. I think Seths are a huge improvement over stock Epi pickups (and doing my own experiments proves this), and you would notice the difference more in a amp like that clean Silverface.
