Duo-Sonic project...retaining RWRP

Post by FuzzHugger »

Hey guys, I've got a Squier Vintage Vibe Duo-Sonic that I'm doing a few things to.

It actually doesn't need much (touche, Squier!)
I was planning on replacing the neck with a 24" mahogany neck, maple fretboard, tele headstock (but the neck's good, so I might have a hard time justifying that).

And the pickups aren't bad. I like the neck pickup, and I'm gonna replace the bridge pickup with a lipstick single-coil. :cool:

I need some education on RW/RP.
I'm guessing the neck pickup--not the bridge pickup--is RW/RP? So if I replace the bridge pickup, I'm going to retain the RW/RP relationship and hum-cancelling operation with both pickups on?
Make sense?

There is no way to know off hand at a guess.. inless you get real info... that said.. I'm going to guess that since it's a squire the pickups are going to sound very much the same so I'd get your bridge pickups and try out both of the stuck pickups in the neck spot to see :idk:

Thanks, Muddy. Almost just PM'd you. Haha.

Squier doesn't provide shit for info on these pickups.

I figured as much about them.. I think Duncan and DiMarzio are opposite from each other but that doesn't really help you :lol:
