Pickup suggestions for Epi Chet Atkins SST?

[trumpus]

Hey all,

Well I've had this Epiphone Chet Atkins since I was 16 (10 years now). I got it for my birthday back when i was really into Dave Matthews (obviously). I haven't played this guitar in about 4 years, as a friend had it, and when i got it back the pickup wasn't working, and the pots are scratchy.



It's got some dings in the finish, but for a 10 year old guitar, it looks pretty good. Because of the sentimental value associated with this (i had to beg my mom to buy it for me, and it was a graduation gift) i don't want to sell or trade it. A while back, I had the frets ground and polished and theh action lowered, and it really does (no, really) play like a Gibson model, but it just doesn't sound as good.

I'd love to drop a new pickup in this little guy. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!

Brian
