Hi All -
I recently acquired a 1977 S-300 in pretty decent shape - but the pickups were changed out for a Seymour Duncan 59 in the Neck and a Seymour Duncan Seth Lover in the bridge. Both look pretty old so I think this may have been done some time ago.
I don't have any serious problems with these but still, I'd like to explore going to the Dimarzio PAF / Super Distortion setup that I understand was in the S300D in the early 80s. There's been a few articles and posts I've run across talking about how good that particular configuration sounds in this guitar and it has a classic look as well.
Anyone have a recommendation on the best way to do that? Is there anything with the wiring I need to know? About the only thing I know about this is originally these were mounted with 3 screws. I wondered how awful it would be to go ad hoc and buy something like this https://reverb.com/item/31555848-dimarzio-dp100-super-distortion-1980-s and buy a PAF later...
Or perhaps even buying a new Super Distortion (blasphemy?)
Thanks!
