Can you change single coil pickups to double coil pickups?

While it is possible to route the guitar to accommodate a full sized humbucker, the easiest way is to get a single coil sized humbucker. Many of these "side by side" single coil size humbuckers have a sound somewhere between a single coil and a humbucker, or sound very similar to mini humbuckers. However, almost all companies who sell these pickups have a model designed to sound exactly like a real humbucker. From Seymour Duncan's Lil'59 to Dimarzio's Super Distortion S, there are many to chose from. These pickups should require no routing, and if they do, it will be very minor.

What is a overwound humbucker?

the humbucker is a type of pickup(pay attention EVERY guitarist MUST know this) the humbucker makes a thicker punchier sound this pickup is great for rock to deathcore genres. the other type is called a single coil pickup and this gives a pure soft tone its great for slide guitar and blues and stuff like that(they are common on fender guitars) the single coil will also give you that chili pepper sound while the humbucker will give you stuff like system of a down, velvet revolver, and wolfmother. les pauls sgs explorers icemen warlocks basically everything but fender guitars without speaking of fat strats, jags, and deluxe teles.
