sepultura999 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I was wondering if it were possible to take a standard telecaster and modify it so it can take 2 humbuckers. I'm a fan of the telecaster shape, but i'm not a fan of single coils and this is all heading towards a possible custom project. I'm guessing, judgeing from pictures that the plastic on the pickup rings would have to be thicker. All help is appreciated! -Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moreau Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 I think you should be able to. Mind you youll probably have some bridge mods ahead of you if you want a humbucker in the bridge. Rout out the body for bigger pickups. mod/new pickguard. If i build a tele shaped guitar, Ill probably go with 2 humbuckers. But if its a good old real tele, It might not be worth hacking up and making its value drop. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Thought about singlecoil sized buckers? Like Duncan hotrails, or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsilver Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Seymour Duncan and I'm sure other pickup manufactures make humbuckers (sometimes referred to as stacked humbuckers) designed to be retrofit into a single coil sized route. My son put a SD stacked humbucker into the bridge position in his Tele - worked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
