Was looking to get the pickups changed (professionally) as its still got the original squier ones.


I just fitted a seymour duncan SL59 humbucker to my squier, its easy, didnt even need to take the strings off, just loosen them.

Be carefull of the wiring diagrams that exist (squier have some good ones on their website) they arent always correct.

Mu squier had duncan pickups already, so the improvement in sound was subtle. The SL59 is a PAF style pickup, so a little old fashioned, but I love its smoothness.

For grunge you might want a more modern sound, and not even a humbucker. I have an old Frontline 501 (a Korean make for he 80s) strat style, single pickups, but it produces a very aggressive crunchy sound.

Got iron gear hot slags in an old Epiphone SG G400. Marvellous and loud, great definition and cheap at £25.00 odd a piece.
