I was always irritated by the "throw a Darkstar in it" bandwagon, and it had nothing to do with the fact that I don't care for the Darkstar tone. There's no one pickup that will fit every situation. You should always evaluate what you have before deciding. In this case the Douglas looks like it has a MM-style pickup, which is one of my favorites and has plenty of character. May not sound anything like the real thing, may or may not work well with a semihollow, but if I bought it, I'd at least hear it out before replacing.
