    Humbuckers For Blacktop Strat?

    I just got a Fender Blacktop Strat... The problem is it doesn't have any electronics. I'm wondering what a good PAF-style pickup is for strats (I've got Seths and Ants in Les Pauls and a 335). I was considering the Pearly Gates, '59s, and the Saturday Night Special. I typically play pretty...

    Woody Hollow Humbucker For Strat Bridge (and Single Coils To Go With It)

    After going way down the boutique rabbit hole, I finally realized that my favorite Strat pickup is the SSL-1 (followed closely by the APS-1).

    Wiring A Phat Cat Neck with A Bridge Humbucker

    I've got a Phat Cat neck and a Pearly Gates bridge that I'm gonna put in a Les Paul. When I went the diagram page it gave me a wiring diagram but it's for 2 volumes and 1 tone. I want to use 2 volumes and 2 tones. Would I wire that the same as 2 humbuckers?

    Screws for p90 mounting?

    So I just got a Tele with a P90 in the neck (I think it's a Benson). It's a little too close to the strings, but I can't lower it (or remove it) because the mounting screws are stripped. Can you get replacement screws?

I was looking at several other threads about pickups for the Semi Hollow, but there was never any agreement. I mainly play clean to light distortion. Any ideas what would be a good set of pickups of this...
