Firstly, thanks to all who replyed to my queary.
I have one other question. I'm told the Wallace pu's are not Humbucking therefore tending to be a little noisey. How much of a problem.if any, is this?

If you were to record, they may cause a little concern. But, as for playing, there is no problem. Just a little hum or hiss sound thru them. I had Jerry's pickups on a BMI D-10 and they were great!

These are VERY quiet for single coils! John Hughey records with them.

I installed a Wallace, "True Tone" pickup in a friends guitar and in my opinion and my friends the hum was no different than in the humbucker I removed. The Wallace pickup was super quiet and the tone difference was incredible. The guitar was alive with a very smooth, consistent sound up and down the neck.

I record with it and love it, no hum issue except with the preamp on Robert Randolph / Ozzie Ozbourne stun.
And then ANY humbucker will do the same.
