I'll probably get a cheap dimarzio tele humbucker and wire it in parallel, change out the tone knob for a push pull pot and have it go straight to the output in parallel to the other pickups (depending on how loud it turns out).

The guitar already has the series parallel mod, and I do enjoy the strangle switch and the rhythm circuit, so it's already got heaps of sounds.

I'm in the process of building a jazzmaster that'll be more conventional, so I don't really miss the trem.

turns out the Guyatone pickup is actually a little larger than a Tele pickup along the horizontal axis, and about the same width across the face. which is to say that assuming the aluminum plate could be modified fairly easily and that the pickup isn’t too wide, this could work. the only drawback is that they typically run around 3kΩ impedance and thus are fairly quiet, but if i cranked the pickup right on up it might do.

lighter for scale.
