Got an LTD Deluxe M-1000 w a maple board. Sounds too spanky for me haha and would like to change out my EMGs for something warmer. Or is it my maple fretboard?
The emg Fat 55 set is worth a look too.
They have a much more pleasing sound than the 81/60 set I took out of my ec1000 fr, more tone, less fizz and more than enough power, great clean sounds too.
A brass big block may give more tone too.

Maple is more bright as a tonewood. if you are trying to warm it up some get some pickups with alnico magnets. If you want to stick with emgs go with the 57/66 combo. The emg 81 which is in there now is harsh and has ton of mid range. I owned the m-1000 with the maple board and swap out for the 57/66 and loved it.
Cheers
