Probably the lipstick-tube Invader. To me it failed to capture the punch and bass response of the original.

You know what they say...you can put a lipstick-tube on a pig, but it's still a pig

My real answer: The Epiphone Wax Bricks. Factory equipment in a 2004 MIK Epi LP Custom. They were buzzy and monotone, with nothing of the three-dimensional properties that so many great PAF-type pickups have. They were replaced with Gibson Burstbuckers 2 & 3.

OMGZ I HAET THE JB HORRIBLE HIGH MID SPIKE!!11!!
J/K, I actually love that pup, lol.
The PRS SE stock pickups were kinda meh. I still have them around.
EMG HZ's were kinda disappointing. Not completely unusable, but they were kinda weaker and thinner than I expected. The H3 in particular.

Rickenbacker neck pickups. They're the same wind as the bridge and you can't lower or adjust them. Most useless ever.

+1. I have a few early 90's Epi's which have a decent tone after I replaced the stock pups with SD's.

Re: What's your most hated PUP
I used to think so, in my neck-through Kramer, but then I put the EMG active concentric bass/treble control in that guitar. Fixed it right up.
Later I took another guitar that was bolt-on instead of neck-through, and I put an 89R in it, which is basically an 85 in humbucker mode. Nicely balanced.
