Any recording of it at all? Would prefer to keep single coils in it really.

AVRI pups will definitely do the job as I can attest.

Basically everything about this guitar is working against your fat desire.
It's the CIJ pickups. They are pretty much Junk. When i had The 69 jag it had a duncan vintage style jag pickup in it, and it was beefy. QPs are great too.

I'll only swap out the stock p-ups as a last resort, all my guitars are stock, except a fishman acoustic pickup in my SG.

Maybe one of the Seymour Duncan pickup boosters would be good?
I see that youve already discovered you need to change the pickups. Good. I think a booster would just make your thin tinny pickups louder.

I've decided on a quarter pounder, but they only come in black, and they do not use pickup covers, according to dolphinmusic.co.uk

With a bit of effort, it's not exactly an easy fit.

Maybe not slide in effortless, but not too difficult, it's not like jamming a JB Jr into a robroe.
