Hoya!

Stock pickups will give you a generic sound without too much distortion, which is perfect for Pop Rock, so, what is your problem? :?

Do you play rhythm or lead?

You may like those two Seymour Duncan ones:
APTL-1/APTR-1 alnico II pro

This is the description from the site: The sand cast Alnico 2 magnets and moderate windings yield a warm, sweet tone with more natural string vibration for great sustain. Players who get their distortion from the amp rather than the pickup love the Alnico II Pro. It allows them to back off the crunch and get beautiful clean tones with softer attack. Compared to the Vintage ‘54, the Alnico II Pro has a rounder sound with a spongier bass response making it well suited to brighter instruments. Comes with waxed cloth hookup cable. Rhythm version comes with a chrome-plated brass cover.

Not only, you will have a nice distortion BUT you will get a nice sound to play clean arpegii as well (and everyone knows Pop without arpegii is not Pop, right? :-) ).

Does this help you a bit?


Be funky
