Hot rails in a S/S Squier Jag

ChumyRamone

Hi everyone 😀

Recently, I bought my first Jag, an Squier one. After some adjustments, it's just awesome, I love it.

When I play at home, it sounds great with distortion, but I tried to use it in a show, and with more volume it's just terrible, so I'm thinking about replacing the bridge pickup with this one: http://www.thomann.de/es/dimarzio_dp_218_super_distortion_s_wh.htm

But the question is, if I replace it with a hot rail pickup, will I have to change some electronics in the guitar, or is it just removing the single coil one and soldering the new pick up? Will the circuits work the same?

Thank you, and sorry for my English :$

it will be fine to use the same pots. you could always try changing out the pot values for a darker sound, or a cap here and there for a darker sound.
