I have one in black and it was a bit muddy for me, too. First, the bridge pickup is overwound, making it pretty thick in the midrange department. Can't do much with it to get any clarity. The neck pickup is fine with a mod. That mod being replacement of the shielded wire running to the output jack. The coax on mine measured 120pF. It sucked a lot of high end. Replace it with a twisted pair. Next, I decoupled the neck from the body with a shim. That gave it properties more like an acoustic guitar and it became more lively & brighter. The neck pickup sounds great now. The bridge alone is 'okay' with lots of distortion but I would prefer a pickup like the neck in that bridge spot. I may be looking for some steel bridge saddles to replace the chrome plated cast saddles next.
