I'm thinking about pimping my superstrat up a bit with some blue pickups, knobs and a switch tip, but I'm in a bit of a dilemma about the electronics.
I'm happy with the Seymour Duncan 59/JB combo, but other contenders include the Dimarzio Air Norton/Tone Zone combo, or Alegree Heat Waves and all of them provide powder blue bobbins (I think).
I was also thinking of the multi-coloured Jason Becker set, but I'm not sure how easy it is to get someone to route for a middle S cleanly - Would someone need to use the original pickguard as a stencil for an entirely new pickguard?
What's your thoughts?

Which begs the question, why change them? If you just want a splash of colour, consider bobbin toppers.
It might be simpler to change to a five-way Superswitch and mimic the DiMarzio/Ibanez circuit that yields;
Bridge HB, Inside Coils, Bridge HB + Neck HB, Neck HB with its coils in parallel, Neck HB.
It's definitely routed for HSH and the coil split works well, so it's more for aesthetic purposes - What's a bobbin topper? You can remove the top plastic?
Personally, I think the guitar looks great as it is - apart from the Duncan logos - and I wouldn't change anything else.

Came within the week, well packaged & ready to go. Yet to put em on yet as the strings are still new(ish), but hey, it's something that might be worth considering.
Will give the T-cut a go as well!!
