depends on the difficulty of the job. To just swap out one pickup for another that has similar size and wiring, probably around $50. To do a more complex job, like routing out the guitar body to fit a pickup that is bigger than the one you are replacing, or changing wiring (say, installing active electronics in place of passive, or installing a transducer on a guitar that doesn’t have one) I would expect to pay between $100 - 150.
just guessin… you could ask some local stores.
Get references too. You don’t want somebody ruining your guitar. Ask around and find out who the local musicians bring their axes to Soulmate
anywhere between 30 -100 depending on the guitar and pickup. (assuming you already have the pickup)
And yes guitar center and most guitar shops can do this Kris
