Just looking at my guitars and realized, very few have stock pickups. Just curious where we are at on the forums in terms of stock pickups. I did a percentage on the poll, sure it will require some math, but works better than counting guitars as everyone's stock of guitars is different.
 
All mine have stock p/u's except one of my Carvins. I put the DiMarzio Crunch Lab/Liquifire combo in my Carvin C66. I've always liked Suhr's SSH+/SSV combo in my Moderns (and Rasmus).

Not one.

Well, my Martin acoustic and Fender Jazz bass do, but 6 string electrics? None. :)

Should have mentioned it was for electric guitars regardless of strings, 6, 7, 12, etc all good.

Interestingly my Martin acoustic and Fender Geddy Lee Jazz are a few that do have the stock pickups. I didn't include them in my 21-30% vote though.
 
One of my Wolfgangs has one stock pup in it. That's it, the only stock pup I have installed in anything.
 
Only my 3 Wolfgangs. And my HP Special. In my others I have a a combo of ToneZone / Fernandes Sustainer, EVH Frankenstein / '59, and Invader Bridge / Invader Neck. :rock:
 
most of my guitars have stock pu but i dont have a problem with changing them, just so happens that i like how they sound stock.
 
I only have one guitar that is stock. My 2002 Tremonti PRS. They sound so right for me and the guitar. No changes needed. :rock:
 
2 out of 3. My prs tremonti with the tremontis obviously and the prs singlecut with prs #7s. I put tremontis in the mushok baritone.
 
Only if they're worth keeping stock--I think someone mentioned a Gibson Custom Shop axe... something like that...
 
1 out of 4 is stock.

My Tele got a set of Broadcasters, my Strat a Set Of BK Irish Tour. My PRS CE is stock HFS/VB - my CU though was sxtock for 12 years. Its recently had a set of BK Mules though. Not that I didnt like the Dragon 2s, but wanted a more classic tone. THe Dragons were too smooth to cover the ground I want the guitar to cover these days.
 
Following a trend it looks like, but only 1 out of several. The 1995 US RG20 came with a DiMarzio Tone Zone and PAF Pro, never had a reason to swap 'em, balls on from the get go.
