Crazy question. . .

Could Seymour Duncan make pickups that would work through a solid pickguard?
Can they be made that responsive?

There is a pickup like that - the secret agent.

Yeah the Secret Agent was developed for Brad Paisley. You can read more about it here.

How about a bridge pu as well?
Could that be made in the custom shop?

My guess is that it could. Contact them. I would think that a guitar that sounds great with no visible pickups would be a great design.

I'm thinking about an arctic or polar white, or whatever is that late 90's Strat color with a white perloid pickguard, stained or parchment knobs, & stainless or brass hardware.

I could also think of a Strat with a thin veneer of figured wood, with the pickups under that...hmmmm...

That would be even classier.
