    Charvel

    Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR E

    Likely drop-in
    Soldering

    The exact bridge pickup this guitar ships with, so it fits the existing direct-mount route. You will need to solder it in.

    Why we say this

    Charvel list a direct-mount Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 in the bridge of the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR E (2965801503), so this is the same pickup the guitar ships with. Duncan make Trembuckers with 52.6mm pole spacing for Floyd Rose and other tremolo bridges, on slightly larger bobbins and baseplate than a standard humbucker, so a like-for-like Trembucker is the safe choice for this route rather than a standard-spaced SH-4. The stock pickups are screwed straight into the body, so reuse the existing mounting screws and springs. Four-conductor cable, so the coil split on the volume knob keeps working.

    Charvel

    Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS HT M

    Likely drop-in
    Soldering

    The same bridge pickup this guitar ships with, in black rather than the stock parchment. Fits the existing direct-mount route. You will need to solder it in.

    Why we say this

    Charvel list a direct-mount Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 in the bridge of the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS HT M (2965063576), so this is the same pickup model the guitar ships with. Charvel fit it in parchment on this model; this record is the black version, which only changes the look. Duncan make Trembuckers with 52.6mm pole spacing on slightly larger bobbins and baseplate than a standard humbucker, so a like-for-like Trembucker is the safe choice for this route. Reuse the existing mounting screws and springs. Four-conductor cable, so the coil split positions on the five-way switch keep working.
