I can not find any place that has pick ups to fit my project . It's needs something the size of a humbucker for the bridge , I think it is some kind of "Big Block " or "Black Top" not sure . I had no idea that it would be hard to find something to do the job .
thanks for the help

Hey guy,

Post some photos for us. If we can take a look at the pickup route (if it's already been routed), we can hone you right in. From what you're saying, I'm thinking either the BlackTop double J humbucker or a MusicMan style 'bucker.

Well the routing is 3 3/4 by 1 1/2 and I think the only thing to work is stock Fender Black Top from the factory . I still guessing what happen to the pick ups , the body is stamped 2011 .

Well I was sure I could buy a new set from Fender , but once again I was wrong , so I am going to check the Ibanez and see if they have something to fit . The G&L pick ups might work , but they run over $100 each.

Seymour Duncan SSB-4N. 3.53 x 1.52 inches. Street price just under $60.

Also the EMG 35 or EMG 40 would probably work. Typically they cost more new but check eBay for used ones.

At least those are all close to fitting as they are pretty much interchangeable. The Duncan is probably the least costly name brand solution if buying a new one.

Thanks for the help . They look simple too hook up , I was scared this type up pick needed some kind of battery.
