Re: Franken-Super Strat... ideas?
Each volume will help with playing with multiple pickups (or my belief anyway). You could have a neck single coil activated with, middle off, and a bridge hot rail switched on, but rolled off to about 5, could help add a little bight. Eh? That's how I'm thinking of it, at least.
Further tweakability? Useless? Who knows...

I honestly have no idea, I'm hoping the hot rails will hopefully not pose as much of a problem, as long as no unwanted hum pops up I really won't be disappointed.

Re: Franken-Super Strat... ideas?
Putting two staggered single coil pickups back to back and running them as a humbucker sucked though. Because the stagger of the two conflicted. I would have been better off pushing the magnets out of the bobbins and matching up their stagger.
I have put rails together with stacked single coils with no problems (Dimarzio Fastrack II and Dimarzio Virtual Vintage 2.4). They were wired s/h/s. If there's an interaction between the two magnetic fields I couldn't hear it and I'm not sure it degraded either pickups magnets?

Re: Franken-Super Strat... ideas?
If I ever tried something like that I would rather use a humbucker that has nice split sounds like PRails or Screaming Demon or the Stag Mag... and just a true single coil in the middle. I once heard a demo of a PRS which had very good HB and SC sounds in the same guitar. I understand the pickup design and electronics are not conventional. Finally, I think the most versatile yet simple approach is just using a an HSS guitar with an overwound neck single coil, like an STK-S6 or STK-S7.
