I didn't care for the stock pup in the reissue rivoli too much. while practicing, some days it seemed to sound alright and then others it just wasn't doing it for me. in group settings, I was always sort of surprised that it managed to hold it's own in a mix as well as it did. but I couldn't ever really embrace it's voice, so it had to go in favor of a model g. the g is better but I have a mudbucker waiting to be installed. it's a pretty low priority because the neck has some issues that limit how much I play it. maybe you'll have a different experience, though, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts.
