I have a Cabronita style guitar (Harley Benton). I would like to swap pickups with some hot humbuckers but I don’t want to have to carve the body to accomodate them. I’m looking for recommendations

    When I lookup Cabronita guitar I see a Tele with what looks like Filtertrons, I guess they’re technically Fidelitrons though? Would regular Filtertrons fit? What about Seymour Duncan Mini-buckers?

    I wouldn’t try swapping for extra cost and effort to end up with a common layout and a butchered guitar. Get another guitar instead. Sell that one if you don’t want Filtertrons at all.

      I already have another guitar for different tunings but I really like the Cabronita-like because it was a gift and I want to use it for the genres I play. A pickup swap sound good and it’ll get me to play it more

    Seymour Duncan makes a hot filtertron. You can also just search for filtertron sized pickups and find some options. Some of the sets will probably cost more than the guitar did though.
