Changing Telecaster Pick-Ups (Got pics)

yup.. my dad says we can do it.. all i have to do is chop open that space a little for the humbucker right?

(thanks for all the input, i feel a single coil and a humbucker will be fine, (thanks film), and praisdave will help me with some of the things regarding wiring)

otay, its pretty simple. i can give you charts out the wazoo... and you'll neeed a router and and some skills to make a humbucker hole in the body

just remember gumbo leave it on a low setting so you can control it. go slow

routers are easier to control when they spin real fast

hmm well i use a dremel tool with a router bit, so its somewhat different, not cuttin through thick wood.

ah i see, well most routers work much more smoothly at high rpms

when cutting through a 1/3 in thick board at higher rpms is starts to slip around

this thread is pretty funny.....



seriously though...can't you just get a stacked humbucker so you won't need to route at all?

We got a jazz humbucker for the neck..
it has 4 wires plus a ground and ii am replacing a standard pickup (the one in the pictures ) that had two wires and a ground.

On the original the red was tied together to the ground. How do we wired the humbucker?
The humbucker wires colors are black, red, white, green, and the ground.

ALL HELP APPRECIATED.
