I also feel like having humbuckers with coil tapping switches would give me a broader range of options and the ability to get a good single coil tone as well. I do wish it had a tremolo though...
If that's the case, you'll want to swap the humbuckers regardless. They're good, but like I said in my last post, they don't really sound like your normal HB's.
Plus, IIRC, they're ridiculously low-output. Like close to strat pickups. I think they usually weigh in at around 8k for the bridge and 6k for the neck.
They're not splittable, either, so you'd need a set of HB's that are splittable. Even if they were splittable, you'd be looking at 4k and 3k split. That's far less than even lipstick pups.
As far as the lack of trem, Bigsby B5's and B50's can be had for cheap. A vibramate mounting plate is like $50. Figure for $100 and *maybe* 10 minutes (including removing the tailpiece) of work you've got a trem.
