Well, hello.
I impulse bought the ultra vintage noiseless pickups ‘cause I got them for 135 bucks which I thought was a good deal.
Never having done guitar mods before, I’m not sure what I’m getting myself into
. I have some questions
1. Will any standard pickguard with SSS slots do or do I need a specific one ? I don’t want to drill holes in my beautiful guitar.
2. Where do I buy the original S1 switch ? Is Amazon ok ? How hard would it be to wire the stuff up ? I can solder and plan to learn from wire diagrams and YouTube videos.
3. If I decide to keep the player humbucker and only replace neck and middle pickup , would the tone , output and existing knobs match ?
4. Lastly, if I switch all electronics, will this guitar sound almost like the S1 ultra ?
I know these are a lot of questions but id appreciate your input on any of these questions. I’m not a professional and I’m just wondering if the change in tone from player to ultra pickups is worth the hassle.
