Is it a good thing that my s-s-s strat is routed for h-s-h?

[Quencho092]

i bought a deluxe am strat. Its real good, but when i took a peek under the pickguard, the routing is for an h-s-h pickup config. Is this good or bad? Does the routing affect my tone at all? I figure its good because i could buy a s-s-H pickguard and put a humbucker in there if i want to.

it has a minimal effect on tone and if you dont want to put buckers in then it doesnt really matter.
if you do want to try a bucker then it makes it easy, just get a new pick guard like ya said

All the American strats since sometime in the late 90's are routed H/S/H. Won't affect tone any at all, and only adds potential versatility.
