Ok, so. I have a few Strats that I play fairly often (though less than my Tele or Les Paul).
One is a cream bodied, Warmoth necked conversion scale maple/rosewood with the active EMG Vince Gill pre-wired pickguard (SPC boost) and a blocked off Strat trem.
One is a pink bodied, Warmoth necked conversion scale maple/ebony with a Duncan humbucker of some sort in the bridge, (soon to be) a Duncan stacked humbucker in the neck and a blocked off Strat trem.
One is an early 90s maple/maple Fender with stock pickups and a two point trem. I don't know the name of the color, but it's sorta blue, sorta grey, sorta greeny.
I have one build going that will be a HxH Strat, rear routed. It'll be standard scale and maple/bloodwood with a Wilkeson trem.
Here's what I need advice on:
I recently purchased a universally routed chambered strat body from a member. I *really* want to include at least one p90, and I want this guitar to be fairly versatile. I'd like to have p90/single/humbucker or p90/humbucker/p90 (neck/middle/bridge). I will split the coil of the humbucker, but I don't use out of phase sounds enough to care about wiring the options. What opinions or advice do you folks have? How would you wire it? I'm leaning towards having an "all on" option if possible. Please throw me out some ideas. I'll also mention that I usually play rhythm parts with more than one pickup because of the "hollow" sound. I really like the bridge/neck combination. I also like my neck pickup to be the most "ballsy," as that's what I use for leads. I'm not opposed to a stacked humbucker style p90 in that position.
