After speaking with Fender, I finally got to the bottom of my situation. When installing SD PU's in a 2004 Strat HH S-1, the polarities off the pickups need to be reversed. Fender also said, ignore the SD color codes and schematics. Only go by the Fender diagrams. Don't ask me why though? I...

I dropped my axe off on Friday to get my Jazz/JB combo put in. The tech called me today and said it was not straight forward to install them. He has to wait and consult with Seymour Duncan first. He said he tried about 10 different wiring options, but neither allowed proper function . I was...

Finally I committed and bought a Jazz/neck and JB/bridge for my HH Strat. I have to wait a week before they're installed though. I'll be counting the hours. Any feedback would be great...

I have it narrowed down somewhat. I'm going with the jazz/neck. I still can't figure out which bridge PU though. Either the JB, Custom, or Custom Custom. Here again, my axe is a HH Strat Alder body and rosewood fretboard. I play through a Peavey Classic 30 with an MT-2 Metal Zone pedal...

I have decided to put Seymour Duncans on my American Series Fender Strat HH. I play mostly rock-n-roll, blues, metal, and classical. Any suggestions for neck and bridge pickups would be helpful. Since my guitar has the S-1 switching, will the Seymour Duncans allow the multiple pick up...
