Guitar Pickup Replacement

[Brenkoh]

Hey I've Currently got a Metallic Red Squier Stratocaster with single-coil pickups... Can I change the picksup to humbuckers or that tesla pickup? means buy pick up and assemble onto the guit?

metallic red you meant?

your pickup cavity has to be able to fit the size of the humbucker.plus you'll need to get a new pickguard to fit the humbucker or just simply cut a bigger hole.

Off-topic, but for a moment I pictured the blonde in Legally Blonde, saying in a bimbo voice, "Metallica Red, its the "new" Pink."

You need to get a new pickguard to fit a Humbuckers in. If your filing skills are good, you can DIY to convert the single spaced to Humbucker spaced. After that, solder the wires of the new humbuckers to the pots and selector. The Humbuckers wiring diagram usually comes with it. If not just Google it, there are plenty of diagrams like split coil, etc. Tesla pickups are good IMO. If you are getting Tesla pickups from Mike (Standard Value), he may give you tips in installing the pickups. Cheers!
