Hi!

I just wonder; does anyone have any experience of changing pickups on a Fender Lead III?
I`m wondering if anyone have suggestions of good replacements to enhance the sound.
And by the way, is there any way to install a tremolo arm, that doesn`t (seruiously) harm the guitar?
I`m very fresh in the field of doing technical tinkering, so it would be very nice to have some sound advice, it would be greatly appreciated! :)

I believe that the original body is routed for a humbucker in the bridge slot and a single coil in the neck slot.
The later models ('83 I think) were routed for two humbuckers for the lead III.
I knew a guy who put a single coil in the neck position and added an on/off toggle to it.
