Yamaha SG3 Replacement Pickups?

Post by devingrab » Fri Feb 03, 2023 3:46 pm

Recently acquired a 66' SG3 from Reverb. It didn't come with the stock pickups, however. has anyone had any luck with finding single coils that fit with the pickup covers? Doesn't have to be Yamaha, just something that would fit.

Also heard that some people here might create custom sG3 pickups? Wouldn't be opposed to that either.

Is this what you're thinking about? 3D prints of the pickup covers:

I have the pickup covers, just in search of pickups. Jag pickups are too small for the covers. Wondering if anyone has been able to "make" them fit with foam or sumn.
