yep, what Nogin said.
I'm sure you'll love it, and the Korean builds can be very high quality. My Idol is '03 Korean, and it's top notch.
Give those pickups a chance too, some people love them. But if you were going to switch them out, I'd think any of the multiple PAF clones on the market would be a good option.
As for John Bell, I don't know what he uses, and sadly either does the guy who built the guitar. My guess is that WP has some pretty good tech's, and he likely has them rip out whatever they come with and put something tried and true in it.
My choice, money no object, would be a set of Lollar Imperials. Gibson 57's would be excellent also. I have a vintage Seymour Duncan JB, split, in the bridge of mine and use it almost exclusively. I still have the original Washburn 621 in the neck. It's not bad, but the pickup is physically falling apart, so I need to replace it. Not sure what I'm going to go with.
Make sure you get some pics up here!
cheers!
