Gibson Burstbuckers in a Strat

[sharktele]

Howdy Hey All!

I currently have a 335 and an SG Supreme, both with 57 classics. Wow, I love 'em!

So this got me thinking. Why not try Burstbuckers in one of my strats for a little flavor. (I'm itching for something to wire up. lol.)

I know the spacing between Gibson and Fender isn't the same. What would I need to do to put these in my strat?

Thanks!!

I came across a partscaster at a shop years ago that had some sort of PAF in the bridge and a Tele neck pup in both middle and neck positions. The picjguard was some custom mint-green job (from Warmoth, etc.). Looked pretty sharp, didn't get a chance to play it, though.

You'll likely need to route the body cavity to gt them to fit. I just tried this one one of my hardtail strats, and the gibson pups were much taller than the Duncans that were originally in the guitar.

How about a lobotomy?

Only joking... let us know what the monster sounds like.
