Doesn't even say whether it is a humbucking design. Which for me is kind of important information.

Re: Is anyone using a Single Coil Invader in a Strat?
Exactly. ANOTHER.
and what is there is almost contradictory. If, and IF, the pickup does only come with single con wiring, it would lend itself to being a single coil out of a regular invader. So it would not be a humbucker, which is what the description sort of suggests when it indicates you get the same thing as a regular humbucker in a single coil size.
Given the history of incomplete and/or inaccurate content on that site, I'd get with MJ and get the real scoop, as well as real world options. If you want something like an invader in a single space, the hot rails would be a production model that would be a good place to start.

Yes. There are numerous models that do that.

If so, wouldn't there be an option for 4-can lead, as is the option on just about any humbucker. But technically, you'd think so....you'd have two short coils stacked up. Hard to tell by the description...which is the point.
I mean, I order things like the concept set, which is meant to be long legs and single-con and standard spaced.... and I get short legs for both and 4-con wiring and a trem-spaced bridge.

It's true single coil https://www.facebook.com/SeymourDuncanCustomShop/posts/832315210118598 , and the Duncan rep also likens them to Hot Rails.

Look at the STK series, for starters.

Re: Is anyone using a Single Coil Invader in a Strat?
Any number of stacked single coils made by Seymour Duncan, Dimarzio, Fender and Bill lawrence. If it says noiseless, and has one set of screws or slugs, it generally is a stacked single coil. Heck, even Gibson makes some, P100s. That is an exceptionally common design. Even zexcoils are (though they are a different design magnetically I think)
I even have some humbucker sized Wilde pickups that have a single row of screws, (no slugs) L610s are that way.

Not anymore, unless they brought them back recently and didn't tell me. (Yes, they were that bad...)

Re: Is anyone using a Single Coil Invader in a Strat?
Well, I am not sure if they are currently in production. I know the h90 is in some models, and uses a stacked design but is considered hum reducing not a true humbucker from what I have heard. I have one but haven't used it yet.
And I never had the misfortune of trying a p100.

"The single-coil Invader has ALL THE amp-pummeling POWER of the Invader BUT IN A SINGLE-COIL SIZE. Perfect for those looking for a heavy, hot and loud tone.
Application: Strat SINGLE COIL ROUTE" (emphasis added)
Looks like another Lil' series stack/rail/minibucker. Though you're right that a system of designations, such as DiMarzio's systematically calling single-sized bucker versions "Super Distortion S", "Tone Zone S", etc. (while calling mid-oriented single coils for HSH sets "middle") is a bit more convenient

Re: Is anyone using a Single Coil Invader in a Strat?
Any information about a CS pickup that is not coming directly from the mouth of the custom shop should probably be considered suspect. There's just be too much conjecture and misinformation out there, especially in the last year. Maybe when someone checks with MJ, it can be confirmed as an actual single coil or a single-spaced humbucker.
