Members youbanez Posted March 26, 2012 Members Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'd like to put an EMG 81 and SA in my PRS, which came with an HH pickup configuration. Does anybody have any thoughts on a visually appealing way of fitting a single coil pickup into a humbucker space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MorganB Posted March 26, 2012 Members Share Posted March 26, 2012 They make conversion mounts that fill in the space...I think guitar fetish has them in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hrafnkel Posted March 26, 2012 Members Share Posted March 26, 2012 glue a blank cover next to it. This. Make a half-dummy 'bucker. Edit: The GFS converter thing is another option, but it looks ugly, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mikecheckstudio Posted March 26, 2012 Members Share Posted March 26, 2012 I know it was already mentioned, but the Guitar Fetish "adapters" look like the simplest way, and they're decent looking. Here are some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some pics. Not to diss personal taste - if you like it, install it by all means - but don't those covers make the pickups look like something from a particularly ugly italian beginner electric from the late 60's?

Members Elessar [Sly] Posted March 27, 2012 Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 The lighter colour ones look rather tacky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tiltsta Posted March 27, 2012 Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 Put an EMG dual mode pickup in the hole and you get an SA type sound, and a bonus humbucker sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WRGKMC Posted March 27, 2012 Members Share Posted March 27, 2012 They make adaptor rings for mini Humbuckers too. I replaced the full sides HB's in my Epi Dot and itdoesnt look bad at all. Kicks butt tone wise as well. Got rid of the mud those guitars produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
