I just got my new Carvin DC747 and I want to replace the pickups in order to get a really thick djent kind of tone along the lines of Structures (especially with those fat reverse bends..). My guitar is: in G-F-A♯-D♯-G-C maple body 5pc walnut neck w/ maple stripes ebony...
I hadn't thought about buying used. Do you think there'd be any noticeable difference assuming the previous owner didn't fuck them up? Unfortunately a quick search reveals that nobody wants to part with their warpigs... :[
How much do you think the average guitar tech would charge to do the routing/replace the pickups? Carvin needs to get with it, that's pretty unacceptable.

I've got my PRS SE Custom 24 in Drop A# with the .11-.48 Cobalts and Dimarzio D-activators and it sounds amazing. Compared to my elixirs, the cobalt strings give a lot more clarity and punch for the lower notes. Definitely won't go back to normal strings.

I just got these strings today and WOW! They add so much punch and clarity to the sound. I can't wait until they release individual strings for 7's. Going from Elixirs to these almost sounded like when I went from stock pickups to dimarzio d-activators.
