Hi,
I need an advice whats the best way to convert a dogear'ed guitar to humbucker equipped one.
I own an sg junior (with single dogear in bridge position) and Im not happy with the p90 sound not in general, but in my current bands situation. I definetly need a humbucker. I love my sg and Im not willing to screw it up with any routing. At first I was looking for a boutique p90 sized humbuckers but they are rather expensive.
I have a really nice PAF but cant figure out a best way to solve this problem. I was measuring all the dimensions and came up with this idea that I think there should be a way to hide a humbucker under a dogear cover.
After a little research I found someone who has made the same thing:

As well something like this:

I know these are not the best looking solutions in an esthetical way, but who cares as long as its working for temporary purpose and I dont have to spend much on a new boutique pickup or reroute the cavity of my guitar.
Maybe someone tryed either of these methods? maybe there are better solutions in this type of situation.
Looking forward to your answers.
Cheers!
