To swap the pickups or take apart the new one to try to repair the old one?

If I swap, I'll tear up the pickguard and maybe replace pots and caps to accommodate the new pickup.

Otherwise, I'll rip one coil out of the cute new pickup and cram it into the old pickup?

This Japanese SG copy isn't valuable, but it is weird and rare.

An old Teisco single coil with dummy second set of pole pieces. It's bright yet throaty - well, it's broken, but the other one that works is bright and throaty.
The coil has a break somewhere. Maybe I could fit a rail pickup coil over the 4mm wide bar where it went.The new zebra rails humbucker guitar pickup from China, sitting on top of the strings of a red SG copy guitar laying on my lap, facing up, where it would go if I installed it in place of the old, broken pickup.
The black-and-white coils, and the fat bar pole pieces look neat but don't match the vibe of the 50-year-old guitar.

Twice a year I go to a local collectors show full of retro and vintage collectible items. Hundreds of booths, thousands of items its a fantastic place to see. Click the link to see what retro treasures I found at the show this past October.

electric cats, a simple question for you: I have an electric guitar with a 5 way switch (2 dual humbuckers, 1 single coil). The 5 way switch is wired such that positions 0, 2, and 4 are neck humbucker only, single coil only, bridge humbucker only.

I swapped them out recently and those positions work 'fine' (except I think I soldered the wrong pickups to the wrong position, but hey, it's symmetrical, who cares?).

Positions 1 and 3 are a combination of a single pickup from the humbucker (split) and the middle single coil, and these are
much more compressed and lower volume than the other positions. I think I fucked up the soldering and suspected I did something like swap the hot and the ground wires for each humbucker.

My question: A, without pictures or more information, does that make sense/seem plausible? B, would this be an easy to answer question if I gave more info and some pictures? C., ... what would this phenomenon even be called so that I might be able to look it up more in depth to see where I went wrong? It's like they're almost perfectly out of phase, or something; the reduction in volume and compression reminds me of destructive addition.

I wasn't able to find exact wiring diagrams for the new pickups (some inexpensive licensed duncans that are apparently duncans in name only) but the Ibanez wiring diagrams are easy enough to find. Any help or insight anyone can give would be super appreciated! It's still quite playable, as I largely just avoid positions 1 and 3 right now.

Thank you! reboosting totes appreciated

Dear God:

Please populate USA freeways with rust monsters trained to attack giant SUVs and jacked-up 4x4 pickups.

Oh, and Teslas, too.

Sincerely,
Me

Huiuiui, V8-Motor und ein 125-Liter-Tank mit fossilem Brennstoff. Dazu ein Auspuff in Backkartoffelgröße. Das dürfte länger brennen als ein Tesla, was meint Ihr?

Curious. Do you have a pick ups preference, for prs guitars, through the years and current offerings? Have they improved over time?
