HSS Strat antiquity set?

[\m/(00)\m/]

Just picked up a Fender American Select strat for super cheap, and am gonna swap out the pickups pretty soon. I’m considering an antiquity humbucker in the bridge with the antiquity surfers in neck and middle. Alternatively I’m also considering Lollar Blondes/Low Wind imperial.

Has anyone done either of these in their HSS Strat? PAF primarily in the bridge, and going for
Mid/Late 60’s strat neck/middle tones.

Thanks!

I think that would be a great setup, I’ve considered it a couple of times. Unfortunately you’d have to mod the Humbucker if you wanted to split for the in between selection. (The other combo I’ve considered is the Antiquity JB with Surfers)

If you end up doing it I’d love to hear the review.

Gotcha! Without modifications would that basically make the 2 position out of phase?

No, you'd just get the full humbucker with a single coil, which isn't very 'quacky'.

If you don’t live by the position 2 quack; die by the position 2 quack, it might be just fine.
