Has anyone any idea if I can retro fit my American Standard to S-1. There's a complete ex-Am Deluxe S-1 set-up (minus pups) on eBay, so I thought I could just hook it up to the existing pups and go... is that the case?

Also, are the Std pups suited tonally to this mod (dunno if S-1 suits a particular kind of pup), is it a straightforward job, or is it a waste of time?

You can retrofit. However and as you know, your guitar is humbucking only in certain switching positions and this will not change if you go the S-1 route. It is for the most part, a straight forward job. As to it being a waste of time, depending on how useful you think the additional options are to your stylings is key along with the knowledge that there is a high probability that the switch is eventually going to break.
