Re: Pickup suggestions
The neck pikcup is an easy one to replace. Most vintage style SD pickups have two conductors. A three conductor pickup might have to go through the custom shop. I'd have to see the inside of the guitar to really understand the use of three wires.

Re: Pickup suggestions
That might. Right now, the best thing I could say is to find the four conductor pickups that you like the best, and then go to here and get a custom wiring diagram with the specs of the guitar.

I used them a couple times for different wirings on customer's guitars, and it's a great site. I got both of my wiring diagrams in like 3 days each, and they send it straight to your email.
I'm sorry I cant be of any more service, but until I see the guts of the guitar, I can't really do much.

Re: Pickup suggestions
The cap and pot are a tone knob. Without a cap it's a volume knob. The three conductor thing is for the coil tap. It's basically a 4 conductor pickup with the two coil ends spliced together for you. To put in a new pickup with the four conductor, solder the red and white wires of a Duncan pup onto the spot where the third conductor wire goes. The green and the bare wires on the Duncans are the ground, and the black is the hot.
