I have an EP LP Special (not the Special II that they sell now as a beginner instrument). They were selling this guitar in the early/mid nineties. It was written up in Guitar Player (or Guitar World – I forget which) as the top working man’s guitar. It’s a double cutaway with the standard LP switching setup (toggle and separate tone and volume controls for each pickup). I love the look and feel of the guitar but I am not enamored of the sound. It came equipped with 2 P-90s (with black soapbar type coverings) and I would really like to switch them out for some Humbuckers. The problem is that I have never worked on the electronics of a guitar before and I do not even know how to get the coverings off or if humbuckers would fit. So I would like some advice.
Should I attempt this myself?
If so, how can I find out how to do it?
If not, should I have a professional do it?
In either case are there any recommendations for pickups (I play a variety of styles so I want something versatile)?
Should I just trade the guitar in for something (cheap mind you, I will be spending all my guitar money on my new accoustic, mentioned in another topic) with Humbuckers?
