Hey everyone, im curious if anyone has any ideas for replacing the stock pick up on a heritage sweet 16. I wanted to put on a 57 classic but its too think and my luthier says we cant do it. Not a fan of kent armstrongs or other low output “jazz” pickups.

Hi! Too many good pickup makers/companies out there!
Call Amalfitano, and he'll make you what you want! I've been pleased with Bareknuckle pickups in the UK, too! [For a great sound, try their humbucker-sized P-90!]
Happy hunting!

If you can track one down, it’s worth checking out.

Hi
I'm using Sweet16 too.
I replaced to numbered PAF pick up.
I think it's good.

Therefore, you have to know what displeases you about your current pickup and what you want from its replacement.
