Quick question, for a strat style back rout, I want Lace Sensor Pickups.  Would I use EMG style routing or Fender style routing?  If I decide to use an EMG setup later on, I assume they will work in a Fender Route?

Thanks!
 
Lace Sensor routing is the same as EMG. They will both fit in a standard pickup route i.e. "Fender" routing. So you can swap EMG for Lace but should you ever want a standard pickup it won't fit in the route.

Either route is fine. The EMG route will look much better, however. The only downside is not being able to use standard Strat sets with a flange on the base.

I would go with the EMG route, and if you ever decide to put in regular Strat pickups, reroute the pickup cavities.
