My seymour duncan Quarter pounder single coils are a 4 wire that you can have a toggle for hot and vintage output.
IMHO I really wouldn't pay that much for either guitars you mention, but I nit pick AND I would want WAAAAY MORE for the money of the "stripped down rocker" BJA uses/owns w/e.
BUT if you really like it and have played a Junior style (with a wraparound bridge) Paul or epi, then I say go for it.
Any wrapping of wire, weather it be a dummy coil OR used will have an effect on tone. LACE SENSORS are a good example of this...and some of the FENDER pups...along with a bunch more. I say do a little more research on this subject to make your decision tone.... as long as your happy with the playability and tone AND it gets the sound YOU want then its a great buy, right?
