Tremonti S pickups

[eightball14]

Hello all, I just picked up a PRS SE Tremonti Custom for a nice price and I was thinking about setting it up to my liking. The pickups are the stock Tremonti S pickups, and although they aren't bad at all, I know they could be better. Before I swap them out for something else I was wondering if anyone has had any success with a magnet swap on the the SE pickups. I think they are ceramic magnets, but I'm not 100% sure. What do anyone think? A4 of 5 in the neck? A8 in the bridge? How much do you think that would improve the tone?

Thanks the opinions.

A mag swap is definitely possible...what about the stock pickups are you looking to "improve" upon? What amp, effects, etc are you using? What type of music do you play and what tunings?

Yes, if you can put it into words what you don't like, then we can suggest some things. Hoping for 'better' usually leads to a sideways step at best.
