I

my strat, but I'd miss having humbuckers, too.

That's not a Strat foo!!

Actually this project, when completed, can get you close to that.

So could an alder replacement body and two push/pull pots for his UV

On a side note that I don't think I posted publicly, we're working on getting Rio Grande to make tele pups for Scott's bridge

Your point?

I've already got one strat. It kicks ass. I'd rather have a second guitar as a seven that, while it can cop the Strat vibe, it also doesn't JUST have to be a strat. My strat sounds amazing, but even then I've spent a lot of time modding it to be something other than a pure strat - the Wilkinson and a graphite nut means it performs like a Floyd, the Lace Sensors are dead quiet like humbuckers, etc.

God damn it Drew!! Unless a Strat has true single coil pickups and a trem that refuses to stay in tune and is at least 45 years old it's not a Strat!! Don't you ever go on the internets?

False. It is not a Strat without a single in the neck and middle. Position 2 and 4 FTW.

SSH is the greatest pickup config ever.

Hmm it makes me think about having four singles maybe? U can get a true single-coil sound in bridge, even two lol, as well as humbucking mode. But will humbucking mode work? What do u think?
