Good thing about the hardware and electronics, for the most part, is that they are actually reversible - I can always change out the pups or lock in tuners later down the track.
I have not a lot of woodwork experience, but I am competent with soldering and wiring.
As mentioned on the previous post, I will be going for the standard to Humbucker config. This being a tele, having an option to have single-coil like sound have some appeal.
I found this wiring from Seymour Duncan website which uses a standard 5 way switch to enable single coil options out of both the bridge and neck humbuckers. I am yet to look into this in detail but this is looking like what I am after.
There is an option of using a super-5 way which allow other configs, but as WeirdBits mentioned, the standard tele cavity will require adjustments to fit a super 5 way, also it will cost a significant amount more.
Lastly, I saw on a facebook market page of 2 stock epiphone ES339 pickups for sale for $30 (total). Part of me is tempted.
Is it worth an experiment? Swapping out the stock PBG Tele hums for 2 stock Epi ES339 pups?
