I've been having problems with my guitars tone lately.. It just sounds horrible for my style of playing. Avoiding EMG pickups (where you have to swap your whole electronic system for theirs) are there any pickups that are ideal for alternative?

Personally I would look more into Amps and FX. Stock Fender pups with the right amp and FX should be fine.

Pickups can make quite a difference in sound. Are you wanting more distortion out of your guitar, or less ?

There are lots of aftermarket pickups that can help, but the amp is a very important part too.

Let me know about your setup and I can maybe recommend a few things for you. I have aftermarket pickups in most of my guitars.
