So I've got a '69 custom that I almost never play. I really just don't love the tone compared to my '85 standard (with Tim Shaw's in it) or my '65 SG (with a p90). Is it totally sacrilegious to switch out the pickups? I'm honestly not even sure that they're original. The neck has a pat number sticker and the bridge has pat number stamped into the metal. there is also a slight difference in the way the screws are cut through the covers. The guitar plays and feels great and id like to get more use out of it. is it always wrong to replace? Can I just put them back if I ever want to sell it, or is the fact that they have been tampered with permanently devalue the guitar? what are some good replacement options if I chose to go that route?
thanks.
thanks.
