While it is possible to route the guitar to accommodate a full sized humbucker, the easiest way is to get a single coil sized humbucker. Many of these "side by side" single coil size humbuckers have a sound somewhere between a single coil and a humbucker, or sound very similar to mini humbuckers. However, almost all companies who sell these pickups have a model designed to sound exactly like a real humbucker. From Seymour Duncan's Lil'59 to Dimarzio's Super Distortion S, there are many to chose from. These pickups should require no routing, and if they do, it will be very minor.

Franif your guitar is routed for it absolutely, double coil pickups are humbuckers by the way. Routed means cut for , which im sure you'll see but if the guitar has a face plate like a fender stratocaster lookalike make sure to just have a peek under , getting the face plate perfectly on it is a pain.

How does the Fender S-1 switching system work?
If you have a guitar or bass with 2 single coil pickups, when they are both switched on they are parallel. The S-1 switch, or any other DPDT switch, changes this to series. This way your 2 single coil pickups will work together as 1 humbucker, creating a higher output and a warmer tone.
