There are little to no replacements for this size so you would have to get a new scratchplate from Warmoth.com or somewhere to fit a normal sized one.

[EDIT] I take it you meant the Humbucker?

Thanks Celtic, what i was thinking was .....a different humbucker to replace existing (maybe) ? Tho' mainly replacing the bridge single coil with the most suitable hot rod to add what i need.

Personally I've been looking at DiMarzio to replace my single. The Wide Range Humbucker is so big, like I said you would need a new pickguard cut to hold a normal sized one.

If its too muddy for you may I suggest trying a pot upgrade first on the WRH?

For some reason the guitar comes stock with these through 250k vol and tone. I changed the vol to 500k and the tone to 1meg and it really did make a difference.

Best of luck!
