Just bought an Electro 6 string with HS

Hello steel people.
I came accross this lovely Electro Lap Steel at Mansons in Exeter.
I was actually looking at basses but couldnt resist!
The serial number is EK442 and its all original and in excellent condition with its original case.
Its got a good range of tones and its for our guitarist to use onstage although I
am learning a few licks on it just for my own enjoyment.
The only potential snag is that he HS pup is really microphonic at volume which may be a problem when
its used in anger onstage.
I would be happy to replace the pickup with something thats relatively quiet and keep the HS tucked away so that I could
return it to its original state if need be.
Could anyone suggest a suitable (pref Ric) replacement that I could drop in without altering a lovely vintage lap?
