Like that a lot.
Congrats.
On the pickup front try some Mojo’s or OX4s, both are fantastic!
About the seized screw, I would advise that the screw with the bushing is removed from the guitar body. Any brute force to turn the screw while it is in the body risks the bushing splines enlarging the hole in the body.
You can get special tools from Stew Mac but I have managed to remove bushings using a claw hammer levering against various thickness pieces of wood. Sounds brutal, but copious amounts of foam and thick cloths and polythene taped to the hammer's claws will prevent damage.
The bushing with seized screw can be heated with a heat gun and placed in a tin of penetrating oil. Best done outside. Leave it in the oil overnight Place the bushing on a hard surface, put tape over the screw head and give the screw a couple of taps with the hammer. Hold the bushing with wood in a vice and try moving the screw both directions and hope it comes unstuck.
Hope this helps.
