Living with a Charlie Christian pickup

I'm new here, and I'd like to ask the list a sort of "hardware" question
concerning my recent acquisition -a Gibson ES-175CC. This guitar sports a
"Charlie Christian" pickup. The sound can be very attractive but I've found
that I can't use this fine guitar every place I play because of pickup noise.
Older jazz clubs and restaurants are the worst. What is really going on here,
and what are my options? Thanks.
