you DO NOT need to re-Route your guitar!!!

i suggested two beautiful single coils that i think will work perfectly. all you do is buy em and plug em in. rerouting a humbucker into the equation comlicates everything and isnt worth the dough.

....two single coils...

for jazz?

i think single coils sound like shit for jazz. you could put a texas special in the bridge position, but i dont know of a single good single coil that is right for jazz.

you can definetly work 2 single coils for jazz... you cant goto either end, meaning full neck or full bridge, but when you mix the 2 it will in essence be a humbucker

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

routers are easier to control when they spin real fast
