I have just bought a Yamaha PAC303-12 which is a 12 string guitar and I am wondering above alternative pickups. It comes with the normal Strat style triple single coils but I would be interested in a little more flexibility. I'm thinking of going HSS with 2 tone controls (bridge & middle/neck) and 1 volume with the both the tone controls as push pull. The bridge tone control switch can go between single coil and humbucker whilst the neck/humbucker tone control can add the neck pickup to whatever is selected by the five way switch allowing me to use all 3 pickups at once.
This setup is something similar to what I have on one of my Strats although that has 3 rail pickups and the the switch puts them all in single coil mode.
If I went down the HSS route what pickups would people suggest?
If I went down the HHH route what pickups would people suggest?
I would like to use single coil sized humbuckers if possible.
If the consensus is that humbuckers are not good in a 12 string what triple single coil set would people suggest?
I will be fitting full sized pots, better caps and output jack at the same time plus replacing the pick guard with a plain 3 ply white one.
