FWIW I have an Epi 96 Classic Birdseye Maple top and a Gibson STD 06 and I used to like the difference depending on mood. Now I am thinking of changing the PUPs in the Classic. Mainly because the acoustic tone is amazing (neck tenon?) and I think the ceremics don't do her justice.

I say change 'em. If you don't like it change 'em back.
