“Uh Huh” - Hybrid Strat - Roasted Alder

[HumanisHappy]

Hey everyone! So I started another new build! I placed an order last night for a hybrid Strat body but added Strat neck. Purchased the neck from the showcase.

I haven’t decided which humbucker or P90s I’m going to put in.

Interesting setup with the two p90s and and a hum in the middle! I really like my hybrid strat.

I wonder if you could set it up so that you could split the humbucker in a way that would cancel out the p90 hum in the 2 and 4 positions...

The concept seems great, so I’m a fan. Did you consider a solid colour like Fiesta red or Daphne blue for a bit of contrast?

 

[JohnnyHardtail]

Humbucker splitting is definitely possible with a 5-way blade. Maybe use the humbucker screw coil in Pos 4 and the slug coil in Pos 2. Then it requires a mini toggle switch to select neck + bridge P90s together.

I did, but something about the wood look satisfies me. I absolutely cannot wait to see both the bodies and necks! (My other order is for a pearl white)

I’m thinking two Gibson P90s (maybe Fralins instead of Gibson’s) with a Seymour Duncan Jazz(neck) in the middle.

I’m thinking two Gibson P90s (maybe Fralins instead of Gibson’s) with a Seymour Duncan Jazz(neck) in the middle.

The Jazz Neck only has a DCR of 7.5K. It might be hard to balance it between two P90s. If this was me I’d probably consider the SH-16 for the middle pickup instead with a coil split option, and something really high output like the Seymour Duncan Hot P90 or P90 Stack in the bridge, and a Gibson, Fralin, or Seymour Duncan Antiquity for the neck.

Or if money wasn’t an issue, the Fishman Gristle Tone P90s and the Fishman Classic Humbucker in the middle.

I’ve actually changed my mind since then and I am going with:
Barenuckle:
Blue Note 90 Set

Neck
Strings: 6
Conductor: 2 Conductor + Screen
Polarity: RW/RP(neck only)
Cover: Soapbar / Blue
Pole Screw: Nickel Bolt
—-
Middle
1x Emerald

Strings: 6
Conductor: 4
Top Bobbin Colour: Blue Woodetch
Bottom Bobbin Colour: Blue Woodetch
Pole Screw: Nickel Bolt
Pole Spacing: 50
Leg Length: Short (1/4")
—-
I figure I will just adjust the height to make the more powerful humbucker sound right.

Be rocking chrome Schaller M6 tuners and chrome hip shot bridge.

The Jazz Neck only has a DCR of 7.5K. It might be hard to balance it between two P90s.

While I agree with your conclusion, I would caution you to be careful about using resistance as the measuring stick. DCR is only an indicator of output if all other variables (magnet gauss strength, wire gauge, construction) are the same. Inductance, measured in henries, is the best spec to get an idea of output voltage.
