Is this even doable?

I have a Godin XTSA (H-S-H) that is already pretty versatile with the Piezo & 13-pin output. I'd like to replace the neck pickup with A Little Thunder, leave the middle single coil there, and replace the bridge pickup with a PRails humbucker mounted via a Triple Shot ring.

I know that for the A Little Thunder, I'll need to replace one of the guitar's 1/4" outputs with a stereo output to handle both the bass & regular signal.

Is the replacement of the bridge with the P-Rail & triple Shot pretty straightforward? I have a feeling that I might be better off bringing this to a luthier instead of attempting this myself.
 
I am not familiar with Godin. What I can say is that with my Parker MidiFly, the piezo, midi, and traditional magnetic pickup electronics are separate and modular, not integrated into each other outside of some internal switching. Open it up, focus on the magnetic circuit, and if it makes sense, get it done. If it is complicated, send it out. Hopefully, the magnetic electronics are independent, and you can almost "ignore" the other electronics.

And yes the Triple shot is fairly easy to install there are a lot of threads on here with diagrams and plenty of people to give you help;

welcome to the forum!

the prails/triple shot install is fairly straightforward. wire the prail to the triple shot, wire the triple shot to the switch. not sure what a little thunder is so cant speak to that.
 
If you have doubts about your ability to do the task
then you should in reality
Take it to someone

Those doubts are what sane people call common sense

It's the truly challenged that have no doubt about
Breaking their stuff


With that said . What's the neck like on that thing
I tried to find one and can't

Is it similar to a Ibanez wizard
A Fender standard c
A gibson slim c or slim d

Fat chunky
Thin chunky
Narrow?

Curious as can be
