take it to a professional unless you feel fairly certain you know what you're doing

Seymore Duncan also makes a humbucker of various typs for the bridge, had one before cause i didnt want to do all of the router thing or buy a new guitar (liked the one i had at that time) Also dimarzio used to have them avail. ,years back . They fit great with mabey a little fileing on the pickguard and wire fairly eazy , as long as you buy a NEW one that comes with the wiring diagram otherwise , it's a trial and errror thing to get the sound out of it. Mabey fender offers something like that? Good Luck to ya

I have a JB stacked humbucker from Seymour Duncan at the bridge position and I love it. I think it's model SJBJ-1 jb jr if memory serves me correct. You can read about it on their website. Friend installed for me, I assume it's an easy thing to do.
