I bagged myself some pickups from the classifieds to put in my Squier standard Telecaster this week. First time I've had a go at it so obviously a bit apprehensive even though it seems relatively straight. With the. wealth of knowledge here I'm posting any and all dumb questions that pop into my head.
First the pickups

The neck is a Fralin Blues special, even though it has no markings I'm taking the sellers word for it. The bridge is a Bareknuckle Flat 50. 1st thing I've noticed is the Fralin doesn't have a baseplate and the Bareknuckle does and assuming if neck needs a baseplate it can be swapped from the old pickup. Right or wrong?
Nobody is guaranteed tomorrow.....

Well they're in, new string on and I've got sound which is a bonus. My soldering needs a bit of practice but everything seems to have held OK. I think I'll change the pots anyway, ones a bit scratchy and I think they're 500k. The Bareknuckle info says use 350k so what would anyone suggest? Brand etc
