    The SUB1 was offered in single and double humbucker configurations, with the option for hardtail or tremolo (trem model came with locking tuners). Mod away!

    sweet yeah i know have the sub 1 with the trem and locking tuners. its only one step away from having 2 hummers in it too. any suggestions as to what pickup to use? a mate of mine has been trying to get me onto these korean ones he sells. says there awsome and half the price of anything else worth getting. im not sure if i wanna take the risk though or go straight for something widely accepted as a sweet pickup like a seymour or dimarzio.
