Based on my builders reccomendation I bought Aero Pickups.
I'm sure other brands offer these options but mine goes like this:
Each pickup is a humbucker that can be switched to single coil.
I can easily swith to a humbucker neck / single coil bridge, or a pair of singles or whatever.
Also the preamp volume has a push/pull feature to switch between active & passive.
Pretty versatile setup.
I think the best tone is a blended pair of passive single coils (go figure).
I prefer active electronics live though. Onboard EQ is
so nice in a cover band.
Good luck with your project. It looks really cool.
