Has anyone on here swapped out pickups on a Squier Vintage Modified Tele?
I've been looking at possible replacements and so far haven't come up with any that either will fit the openings or are wound to get the sound I'd like. I found a set of slightly hotter pickups that looked like they might work but after measuring the openings in the pick guard which is cut for the pickups with the chrome covers I don't believe these replacements would look good as they don't have covers and the corners are rounded. I also wonder if my covers can be swapped to the new humbuckers? Any ideas? Thanks for any input you might have.

My other guitar player had some custom ones made for his Squier Tele (Affinity).. This is the guy who made them.

They sound amazing. If you e-mail him, you can discuss the dimensions, and what you want them to sound like with him personally. You can even send him your covers and he'll install them on the new pickups for you. Or just re-wind the pickups you have. You have some options there. He's a really nice guy, he does make great sounding pickups, and it won't put a huge dent in your wallet either.
