I changed 2 humbucker pickups at sweelee once.. i wasn't satisfied with what they did. The wiring inside was messy, and they didn't fix up my middle pickup properly - there wasn't sound coming out from the humbucker-mid pickup positions. A few months later i changed the middle pickup at yamaha (find Beez, nice chap), and he did a really great job, threw in a push-pull pot as well, and refitted all my electronics for me (eg. my pickup selector switch was rusty). But it was a little more costly, about $30, but quite worth it.

Neuro, most of his pickups are damn high output and gainish leh, except the 59, so if he can't really get a good clean sound if he needs to...
Maybe a coil spilt is needed...

 

[neuro182]

Hmm

EMGs are active pickups so need 9v batt to support. I'm not very sure about Dimarzio.

yarh.. i'm playing rock, emo, abit of metal.. wad kind of pickup shld i choose?..

from that i presume he'll be playing alot in distortion/overdrive, so i think no need so clean lah? or maybe ? get all the high output one. hahaha. i m getting a lil 59 soon..... :twisted:
