New pickups or a new guitar? (self.guitars)

I've got a 1970s Hohner Les Paul and the humbuckers are starting to die. I was looking at Seymour Duncan's but for that cost does it make sense to just get a new guitar?

Not going to be that guy just leaving it hanging. That was indeed the issue. It was super close. Adjusted it and now it sounds perfect. What's super weird is that pickups on my BC Rich are super close and sound just fine. Guess it is just the pickup spec is different. Thanks for the suggestion.

@sailicalvin Glad it was something simple!
