So a while ago, I mentioned how I'm gonna do the 4-way mod to my tele. I've also been considering switching out the neck pickup.
I'm gonna finish the mod this weekend and its gonna be a brighter setup, with 500k pots and .022 caps. I think that switching out the bridge pickup with something meatier like a P90 would be a good idea. But I don't want excessive work, any sort of additional routing or having to adjust the cavity to fit certain pickups. Basically, I'd like to know what's the easiest way (i.e. closest to 'plug n play') I can switch out the neck pickup and what would you recommend as a replacement?
I've heard that MIM telecasters have cavities to fit humbuckers, which makes me consider getting a gibson P-94 (from what I've read, its a p90 in the form of a humbucker) as I think I can screw this directly into the neck and all I'd have to do is find a separate pickguard. What do you think?
Might be too general of a question, but as many of you know, I've never modded any guitar and aside from basic soldering, can't do much myself. But I wanna try, so any help is much appreciated, thanks
