How to get Series/Parllel Push Pull and Treble Bleed on SF4?

[StarfireRocks]

I have a 78 SFIV

How would you go about getting a Push/Pull Series/Parallel and a Treble Bleed Cap going? I try not to make a habit of altering vintage guitars too much, so how should I look into this?

Would I need to replace my HB1's to get 4 conductor? Change wiring harness?

If your pickups don't have four wires coming out of them, you'll need different pickups (or someone handy and careful to modify your existing ones..), and you'll need push-pull pots, so yes, different, or at least modified harness.

And working on the harness of a semisolid is not my idea of a good time!!

Removing the HB1s will significantly change the tone of that guitar. As much as I really love the mods you listed, I wouldn't do it on a vintage Starfire.
