I missed my window of opportunity on good weather yesterday when I was glued to this guitar instead of working on projects around the house. But it has stopped raining, so we shall see...

It's hard to resist that setup. The tail piece just sets them off with double cut, and great looking tops.
A good set of pickups would finish off a badass stock guitar. Something in the medium output arena should do quite well. Add salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy.
I am a sucker for Artists. I have seen late model double cuts pop up occasionally for under $200 on the regurgitation wall at Guitar Denter, usually with upgraded pickups. I have a few in different vintages, including a '77 MIJ that weighs a metric tonne and has an unfortunate cigarette burn in the headstock. This one really caught my eye. The flame is exceptional - better than the one pictured on the Ibanez web site.
I think you are right though. This thing deserves a better set of pickups.
Did you really just convince me to sink more money into this guitar?
Someone should put that in their signature…
