Location: NJ | I have a Preacher siting in my house for way too long. Years ago I removed the pickups thinking I was going to replace them, now I can not find the original PUPs, I would like to do 1 of 2 things. either find the original PUPs and restore it, or sell it as is.
If you can help me with either, please contact me at exar119@yahoo.com
thanks |

Miles or Bill - Would the Viper p/u's fit? I don't know the dimensions of the original humbuckers. |

Location: San Bernardino, California | 1) early Breadwinner pickups will not work (different size)
2) IF it's a Deluxe Preacher only Deluxe Preacher or UK II pickups will give series/parrallel switching. |

Location: NJ | I am not sure if it's a deluxe or not. The owner's manuel just says Preacher. Inside for the Pups it says "The Preacher Pickups has two opposing bobbins. Set in the bobbins are twelve ainico magnets, six per bobbin".
I am not sure what that means but but then again, I probably don't need to know everything about this guitar.
The more I learn about it, the more I want to restore it. I just have a feeling it's going to be expensive to do so |

Location: San Bernardino, California | each coil of a Deluxe Preacher or UK II pup has it's own set of wires coming out. Basically 4 wires instead of 2 per pup. |
