I thought the buckers in my old Korean Dot plain sucked pretty much. I did as@Funkfingers with a Tonerider AC4 neck and a Regentone bridge. Way better after. Also replaced the loom because while you're fishing in there may as well put in a better switch & jack, and the rest follows. Plus I could choose different value tone caps and install treble bleeds while at it. Replacing wires switches and pots isn't going to make it sound better somehow, with everything at 10 say, but you get choices in values, caps, sweep, bleeds and make the weak points become reliable.

However, even though there may well be an improvement in tone it would stop being a 'damn good guitar, especially for the money' and more of a 'pretty good guitar, for double the price'. One of the things I genuinely like about it is that it cost, in guitar terms, peanuts.
I did, though, replace the toggle switch as it worked when it felt like it. I may also replace the control knobs, as my chubby fingers don't get on well with the top-hat knobs.

Gave £289 originally for the guitar. Circa £80 for the pickups. £5 for aquarium pipe and solder to refit.
That said, I'm not a great fan of the original Dirty Fingers humbucker that was already installed when I got my Matsumoku Riviera. Too much, man. Too much.
