I swapped the stock pickup in my SD10 RP with an E66. I did it more for the quietness of a humbucker, because the stock pickup sounded fine. I had my tech friend install it. Just "follow the leads", as they say.  You'll have to break off the side tabs to fit it in the cavity, and just use the end tabs for the screws. |

thanks chris i want the quietness too i want to do some more checking on the 66 before i decide im afraid i might not like the sound although i have heard some i played with a guy last night at a benefit for a little girl at the 4h camp he had a d10 mullen and nv 1000 no fx except rev on amp he sounded pretty good my other friend has an sd10 like mine with george l nv112 sounds real good the other guy told me it cost him $600 to get his installed that seems pretty high iwont say where he took it to get it done i think i can do it myself my only problem might be getting it adjusted back right thanks again

Mike, if you don't do solder work (I don't), it should cost about $20-$30 to have it installed at a local shop. $600 to install a pickup? That's insane. If you do bring it to a local shop, make sure you have the strings taken off or at least detached, to cut down on bench time (which costs money). The tech can check its function without the strings on the guitar.
Once it's installed, you can raise or lower the pickup to your preference with the end screws. I have mine pretty close to the strings, about two quarters' width. |

Mike - Check your e-mail. If you can handle the jack repair, you should be able to change out the p/u without a problem.
