Hey dude....there's as many pup choices as there are opinions.

Never jammed on the setup you're talkin about but a good read thru this might help...

or..........it might not. The "Screamin Demon" sounds like it might fit the bill....?

I was lookin for some not long ago and just googled and read and made a couple of phone calls and talked to reps.

Good luck in your quest..............

I have had an Agile, not that model but a 2800 and I really liked the stock pickups.
I actually like Carvins C22b for a bridge, I used to use a JB but actually like the carvin more. For the type of music you mention I'd think you'd want something with clarity and then you can get the best tone going into your amp, a pickup thats too hot really loses a lot of definition and ends up sounding very unbalanced or muddy so something along the lines of a 57+ bridge and jazz neck might sound really nice to you. It is always a pain in the rear also to buy pickups and end up not liking them, I believe Duncan has a trade in Policy but you'd have to check their site or ask them about it.
The only example I can think of that may be sort of what you are looking for might bethis band The guitar ist used a Carvin c22b pickup on most of their last cd.

right now im looking at the Gibson Burstbucker Pro pickups..does anyone know anything about these?

Burstbuckers

You can't go wrong with those. You can check ebay, there are many PRS pickups sets for sale. Dragon's, Tremonti's, Santana's, they are all there. Perhaps that would make it sound more like a PRS?

Hah! I was gonna mention the C22B as well, but he's got pickup covers and wants to change only the bridge.

And people give me a hard time for pimpin' Carvin.

Yeah, I was gonna say, if you want to make it sound more like a PRS, a good place to start would be using PRS pickups.

I have burstbuckers in my Epi Les Paul and I absolutely love them. Good enough to make me pretty much stop playing my LTD EC-1000 (nice Les Paul clone) with a Duncan JB/59 set (also really nice pickups). The burstbuckers don't have a really deep, thick sound. They are more hot and edgy, and they seem to be pretty high output.

are the burstbuckers pro good for screamo music/metal..im not looking for that heavy pantera saound but more like a emo/screamo guitar sound..does anyone have any clips of the burstbuckers?
