SSS -----------> HSS

Steel8909	If you have a SSS strat, can u easily just unscrew the pickguard and pickups and pop in an HSS ? I want to do this on my strat copy, cuz I can't exactly buy a new guitar.    Also since I only have a strat copy, will real Fender pickguards fit on my guitar?

ECistheBest	it really depends what kind of routing and screw patter your strat copy has. you can buy HSS pickguards and a humbucker, but if you just have the SSS routing in your strat, then you won't be able to.	it really depends what kind of routing and screw patter your strat copy has. you can buy HSS pickguards and a humbucker, but if you just have the SSS routing in your strat, then you won't be able to.

Steel8909	The size of the pickup cavity. Whether it can fit humbuckers or singles.	The size of the pickup cavity. Whether it can fit humbuckers or singles.

Nor do the stacked ones IMO. Nothing beats the real deal and if you have S-S-S routing, you're kind of screwed in that aspect. Then again, I didn't buy my Strat for a humbucker sound anyways.	7leafvacation wrote on Dec 30th, 2007 at 12:30am : oh ok. mine fits 3 single coil, but i replaced tha bridge with a humbucker the size of a single coil <br /> <br /> Hum-canceling single coils don't really sound very much like humbuckers though.
