Top photo was the upgrade to the strat pickup.
The second pic is the upgrade to the tele pickup. It's gone. I decided to go all the way to the dark side with this guitar. The chrome tele pickup was useless to me.... So .... Hey let's put a seriously hot, dual coil humbucker in there. Yeah it's gonna require routing out the wood and yeah it requires cutting the pick guard to make way for the twice as big pickup. No going back to original with this one. Measure 20 times, cut once.

Actually used a drill and a Dremel to do this.

It's in and it really sounds great. Lots of gain. More like what I really like with guitar tone.

If the pics don't show, you should be able to click the links. One thing left to do.... I gotta reverse it's polarity because it sounds out of phase with the middle humbucker which is brighter. A couple of minutes and a soldering gun will tell the story.
