Changing pickup

Post by bluesywoosy »

Hi
a got a really good 2003 US Legacy and I love it. It plays and sounds georgous for my ears, only the bridge pickup is quite weak and thin. So I think about changing it, to get a more strong and warm sound.

Has anyone her experience in doing this and can tell me, what kind of pickup would do the job?
I habe a set of mfd's from a S-500 lying here. Would the mfd bridge-pu work together with two alnicos in the legacy?

Thanks a lot.
