No, the only problem with having one noiseless and one 'noisey' pickup is that you'll get hum when soloing the noisey pickup. Nothing anymore than you're already used to, though.

The only problems I can think of (outside of tonal mismatch) would be the potential for impedance mismatch between the two pickups, hence the possible volume difference. The SCN is a semi-stacked coil (I'm going to stay out of the nitty-gritty here, because it would be mostly boring) but I believe that it acts in such a way that it will deliver a single coil sort of impedance. Did the pickup come with any potentiometers? If it did, and they are 250K, there shouldn't be a problem. If it didn't, let me know and I'll do some research by calling Fender and asking tech support. Hell, if I have time, I'll do it anyway, because I have a shitton of them coming in, and you won't be the last person to ask this question.

But y'all are making it easier and easier for me not to feel bad about this thread -- thanks, I think. Also, Ken L. seems obsessed about my attitudes towards bass players, but that's cool.

Ok, bridge position Tele SCN - DC resistance 13.8K, Inductance 4.9 Henries.
Can't find Spec on standards, but the Texas Tele neck - DC 9.5K, Inductance 3.3 Henries.
The short version of this is that you should be fine.

Anyone have links to instructions on changing pickups? or is it better to have some guitar shop dude do it for me? I don't have a soldering iron :s

there are many many sites that have instructions on how to do this, some better than other. best try google and look for ones with clear schematics, layouts, and pictures!

i guess i would put in silver p-90s or some such. amidumb?
the only thing i've googled so far is this:http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/how_to_install_a_pu.shtml

What might help more is if I knew what kind of guitar it is, which would give me a little more insight into how difficult the wiring harness is going to be to deal with.
By the way, if it's a semi-hollow or hollowbody, you probably want to stop right now...
― John Justen, Penis-melting Zionist robot combs (johnjusten), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 16:23 (eighteen years ago) link
not that big a deal really. but is it really that much more difficult w/ a hollowbody?
