Members badpenguin Posted January 23, 2018 Members Share Posted January 23, 2018 Sure, why not? As long as the area beneath the pickguard is routed for a humbucker, anything should fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Grant Harding Posted January 23, 2018 Members Share Posted January 23, 2018 Not sure how the output of that will blend with the single coils. Might need hotter singles too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gardo Posted January 23, 2018 Members Share Posted January 23, 2018 This strat has a 250k vol. pot that will greatly affect the sound of the pickup .The strat does have a coil tap in the bridge / middle pickup mode to help balance the outputs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hellion_213 Posted January 24, 2018 Members Share Posted January 24, 2018 I read an interesting pamphlet that came with my new Entwistle Dark Star ND - 300k or 250k pots are now being recommended for tone control on HBs, at least by Entwistle. 500k volume still. anyway, I don't see any issue, other than Penguin mentioned in regards to the cavity size. If you mainly use the bridge anyway, neck and middle aren't a big deal. If you like incorporating these into your playing, swapping those later for hotter wound singles or single sized buckers would be advisable.

Members gardo Posted January 24, 2018 Members Share Posted January 24, 2018 That strat has no tone control for the bridge, vol.only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted January 24, 2018 Members Share Posted January 24, 2018 Isn't that true of Strats in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Freeman Keller Posted January 24, 2018 Members Share Posted January 24, 2018 The guitar has a HB in the bridge, the OP wants to replace it with another HB. If the first one works (and I assume it does) the new one will too, Of course it will have massive metal tone dialed to the exact specs of Dimebag Darrell, Beef, crunch, edge, balls..... Just want you want in a pickup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gardo Posted January 24, 2018 Members Share Posted January 24, 2018 Yes this is true. The point is the metal pickup will sound very different with a 250k vol. pot vs, the 500k that it was probably designed for. .There was a statement about 250k or 300k tone pot. So I pointed out guitar has no tone pot on the bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lesbian With A Gun Posted February 6, 2018 Members Share Posted February 6, 2018 I had this pickup in this cheap super strat once, loved it/saved the guitar project, and I came to this much loved pickup combination for this guitar through trial and error with different pickups before having this Dimebucker save my Strat.Circa 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
