changing pickup size (from WRH to standard humbucker size)
I want to switch the MIM reissue wide range humbuckers on my tele deluxe with regular buckers.
Any advice on pickguard?
I guess I can have rings made pretty simply (even by cutting up any stocko HH pickguard)
or I can get a custom shaped guard - anyone know where I can get this done?
In the UK?
you could try contacting WD music.
Or there's Terrapin pickguards in the USA.
yup i'm in the uk, cheers.
If I remember correctly Terrapin do conversion rings for WRH -> HB as well.
yeah cool they look spot on, thanks!
As a matter of interest, why the change?

I find the stock pickups too mellow and a bit unbalanced frequency-wise.
No idea what to change to though, I want something vintage sounding but not 'classic rock', if you know what I mean.

don't think the WRH is for me, too... glassy.
Is it possible to "house" a standard humbucker under the wide range cover in some way to keep the same look? Might be impractical as I have never investigated this, but no doubt somebody will have thought of it before and can advise.
