+1. My theory is that it's a fluke if the stock PU's happen to be the best-sounding ones for any particular guitar, regardless of it's price. Odds are some aftermarket set will beat them. Whatever you need from your V, I'm sure you can find a standard-production PU that will give it to you.

I don't really care for the 500T, but I like the way it sounds in my Flying V. It's about the only guitar I've ever cared for it in.

B.F. Gibbons was quoted as saying that until he got his LP, the first guitar he found that had "the sound" was a 58 V...leads me to think that if you find just the right pickup set, you might love that guitar.

i'm thinkin like P-Rails in the bridge, with the push/pulls on the knobs to control that crazy thing, then a Phat Cat in the middle and a 59 in the neck and then i DARE you to find a more capable electric guitar.
Classic and vintage-stylee yet totally metal. Hot humbuckers, cool ones, and P90's galore. Not too complicated but totally versatile. Matches your tuxedo...

That's what the originals had, and there was some great guitar work done with them.
