Right now I have a Charvel model 4 and I am totally satisfied with it but of course, I have GAS and the urge to mod anything that touches my beginer's hands.
The plan:
Buy a MIM Fender Fat Stratocaster. Yes, it won't be better than the Charvel, but it has a pickguard and I love wine red (alternative: buy a second model 4 and block the Floyd)
Buy a SD cool rails, a seymour duncan Hot, a bareknuckle miracle man (the brudge pickup I settled for... shame on me) and an EMG or even Jackson midboost
Put the SDs + Bareknucke on the Charvel
Put the Jackson pickups and midboost on the Fender instead of the second tone control, wire the remaining tone control to work on all pickups
Rock out
Do you reckon the Jackson pickups will sound alright in Alder? I guess they'll be brighter than in what they are now (basswood guitar) but with the midboost they should work fine (they were designed to work with it after all)
And now that I think of it, getting a second model 4 is a much better idea, but I want a dark red pickguarded guitar... meeh... model 3a maybe...? They're quite rare and they have no midboost so... ah well...If you guys have any advise...

IMO they are in a league of their own
It'd probably be a little too complicated. So the Jackson pickups would not work with an EMG midboost then? What if I just got a seperate stereo jack for the Strat?
