My brother recently purchased a Squire Vintage Modified Tele Custom that is fitted with two humbuckers. He's been wanting to replace the HB's with a higher quality set. I'm wondering if most humbuckers would be drop in replacements (I've been told most won't fit by the folks at Guitar Center). If there are a select few then what do you recommend we replace them with. My brother and I would like something traditional as opposed to a set of active or high output metal style pups. We would like to put in some kind of PAF or a set of the Fender Wide Range pups. Other than the OEM pups this guitar is an amazing piece of work (especially the neck).

Russ,

You can pretty much dismiss anything Guitar Center personnel tell you as here too, what they told you is incorrect.

Most humbuckers would indeed be drop in replacements for your (brother's) particular guitar. Ironically, Fender's Wide Range wouldn't be one of them though.
