I like the idea of putting a set of Seymour Duncan Stag-Mags in it. It kinda has some strat inspired elements to it (the angled bridge pickup), so I think that would suit it well. But I'm hesitant to go ahead and buy the pickups and find someone to install them.
The issue that I am thinking of is how the bridge pickup is angled. The poles don't exactly line up with the strings (see picture). I'm guessing if I put some pickups in their to split, the single coil side wouldn't have an even distribution of volume due to the misalignment of the poles and strings. Maybe it's not a problem with the humbuckers in there cause the difference in the top coil poles and bottom coil poles evens things out. Am I right on this? And, anyone try a guitar with two stag-mags?
Also, if anyone just has some pickup recommendations in general, please say so. I'm looking for something that would fit in the original place, preferably something with a good split sound, but I am open to ditching that idea. I'm into 80s Jangly stuff, so I was hoping to get versatility out of this guitar with both some jangly single coil sounds and some good humbucker sounds. Any ideas?
Also, hi. This is my first post.
