Hey All,
I bought a used Ernie Ball Music Man Cutlass SSS and I love it! Great sound and feel.
The only thing I want to do is to swap the single coil bridge pickup to a humbucker, I emailed Ernie Ball and they said it should be routed for a bridge humbucker. Before you ask, yes I could have bought an HSS but this SSS came up at a killer deal and it was the color I wanted.
Option 1 is find a single coil sized humbucker. My friend uses a Hot Rails in his Silver Sky and I like how that sounds.
Option 2 is buy a HSS pickguard and put in a regular humbucker. In a previous thread here, someone mentioned a Gibson Classic 57 Plus would be a good fit/nice blend. I may need more output, so perhaps a Burstbucker?
Either way I will have to change the 250k pot to a 500k, no big deal. I am awaiting Ernie Ball to send me the wiring diagram/schematic.
What are your thoughts?
