As my SG has obviously got humbuckers I wanted to put single coil pups in my Cort, but it had humbuckers in it to start with. Is my only choice a P90 in a humbucker body like Seymour Duncan Phat Cats or Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queens or is there something else I've overlooked? Any info, advice or whatever would be welcome.

	and now for something completely different
