Hey guys,
I hope you can help me out. Please don't laugh but I have absolutely no knowledge about pickups. I have no preference, no experience and I don't know if I even ever used the switch on my guitars... .. if it makes sound, great. If I don't like the sound, I push and pull some knobs in the amp software until I'm happy.... So:
I ordered a (non PB) kit without any hardware (because the hardware from the store is just not what I prefer visually).
It is a LP style kit and it has 2 big holes for the pickups. That means I can use humbuckers and/or P90's, right?
So I ordered a cheapo humbucker and a cheapo P90, just because I never had any P90s before and why not and such.
But they will come "naked" with no frame and no specification which is for the neck and which is for the bridge.
I ASSUME that it doesn't really matter and it's just the frame that defines the position (one being higher than the other)? So if I decide to put the P90 in the neck position, I just use the "neck frame"?
Or is there any other criteria which defines where to put each pickup?
Another question:
I have a 3 way switch. That should work, right? Because I can either pick neck position, both positions or bridge position, no split. Right?
Sorry for my dumb questions, I have really no idea of guitar electronics.
