First of all, congratulations on owning such a classic!

The original Epiphone Granada was introduced in 1962 and the cutaway version in 1965. Both of these were discontinued in 1972. As to the best pickup, the originals came with a Melody Maker pickup mounted into the pickguard. If yours does not have one it was probably removed for some reason. If yours is a vintage model (and not one of the re-issues) replacements are available from
Lollar Pickups
for just over $100. Keep in mind that Lollar only makes pickups to fit the vintage models and not the re-issues.
