Hello :)

I pretty much just play music man luke guitars, I love the body size and neck shape.

I’m thinking of doing a pickup swap in one just for variety.

I’m aware needing to buy a pickup without the flange etc. But I’m just wondering if I buy a new bridge pickup, for example, and wire it in the same as the stock humbucker is, will the boost circuit still work as usual?

Thanks
 
Yes. Everything should work the same way. You're just replacing a regular ole' passive pickup with another :)

What'cha swapping it with?
 
Cheers beej :)

I’m not entirely sure yet lol. I’m thinking of trying a bare knuckle, maybe the mule. See how that blends with the single coils, which I might swap for some triptych‘s
 
Bridge is color coded as dimarzio. I replaced mine with suhrs, you can consider those as well SSV+ or SSH for hotter ones.
