My understanding is that the Classic Elites on the newer AS73s are also much improved, but with the above changes, I don't currently have a need to upgrade the pickups. While not "Gibson" like, several friends like the ACH bridge pickup this way better than the stock pickups in their much more expensive guitars. I lowered them down and then raised the pole pieces up to the normal height. With the above three, I can do tons of bends not loose tone, even on the typically pesky D and G strings. Don't take my word for it, feel free to checkout the excellent videos for both Tim Pierce and Darrell Braun. I used the V3 on my Ibanez but they have a database you can check on. Gives you stright through the nut strings just like a strat. String Butler, fixes the flaw that ALL 3x3 headstocks suffer from. I did do the following mods and it was still less than what you were looking at.ฤก. Mine is a 2009 used I purchased for a very good price at GC, I still use the stock ACH pickups and several that have played it find them to be really good. One with a very expensive one almost has buyers remorse when he plays mine. I have an Ibanez AS73 that several veteran hollow body players like.
