changing pickup on Silhouette

[thistledom]

Hey, I was thinking of changing the 'custom wound' Dimarzio on my Silhouette to an HS-2; will this pickup switch okay or will there be routing or other problems involved because it is a humbucking stack?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

HS-2 is an excellent choice but there is one better, from the man they tried to copy. Lawrence 465, with adjustable poles on both coils, VERY handy in split coil mode. Annnd...cheaper by a good bit.
'Swhats in mine.
Hey, Ernie Ball guz, put th' Axis p'ups in sillhouettes and we wouldn't haveta go throu this!

Thanks for the reply ebbsoul but isn't the 465 a humbucker? I am looking at replacing the single coil/middle p/up - eventually I will replace the bridge p/up as well, but for now I find the single coil to be weak and lifeless. I have an HS-1 & HS-3 in my Strat w/a Texas Special as well and all 3 p/ups have lots of life, sparkle & punch. Any other opinions?

My bad, I was thinking sh-1 when I saw yer post and I'm used to folks wanting a better bridge humbucker in silhouettes.
I use Lawrence 280s' in the single coil slots.
