Hello all, I'm taking suggestions for pickup replacements for the EMG's on my Gruhn era 85 Nightbird. Gruhn's shop suggested I would reduce the guitar's value by doing that, but I'm not all that fond of the sound compared to say, my 2000 Bluesbird. The Nightbird is probably my favorite electric guitar to play as far as handling goes, but not for it's sound. So, I guess I'm looking for something that would perhaps drop into the existing routs, so I could put the EMG's back in to sell it someday, but I don't see that happening yet. Now, the Bluesbird is solid, and the Nightbird chambered, so maybe I'm looking for more of the semi-hollow sound of my 335. I know the very basics of pickups, but I'm not a pickup geek at all, and I know there are many here who have far more practical experience with them, so fire away. Thanks in advance...
