No, but a violin neck on a Strat is great... not to mention bass strings :mrgreen:

Didn't Fender do a double humbucker strat? they marketed it as the Big Apple Strat or something similar.

Mind you, I might have just dreamt it :lol:

Yes, but not with Wide Range pickups.

No, but given the pool of really hotly sought after wide rangers is so small, I don't see the point of the exercise. The current ones going in the MIM 72 Reissues are weak tea, as far as I am concerned.

Meanwhile , there are so many unheralded pickups to experiment with. I won't be ready to try any true HB in a Strat till I've tried more base plates on existing s c models, tried more P-90s and MFDs and and most of all, this very neat new T pickup installed in the bridge of the "Darling" and the "Dalmore", from Bill and Becky Lawrence.

i know fender makes the big apple strats but i thought it would be kinda unique if a strat had wide range humbuckers either fender or rio grande wideranges maybe even throw in three like on john 5's tele deluxe.ive just never seen it done and i wanted to see if anyones done it.
