I got my lil 59er in my american deluxe strat and it sounds great. I have a samick strat that I use for experimental projects. I wanted to put a mini-humbucker in the bridge position, but I thougt why not cut a slanted hole next to the bridge pup and have both the single coil and the humbucker. each with an on-off switch. So I did. While I was in there, I also did away with the 5 way switch and wired the middle and neck pups together as one humbucker pup. I used a series-parallel switch and coil cut switch so that I could have the humbucker sound, standard Parellel sound, and Indievidual single coil sound in the middle and neck. I was wondering if anyone else had ever tried any of these ideas? The slanted humbucker in the bridge looks really different. I also have an on-off switch for the middle/neck humbucker.

Re: lil 59er
Sounds interesting. I've never actually done this, but I've been wanting to try a similiar idea where you mount four SC-sized humbuckers, in the holes on a twin-humbucker guitar. For example, maybe a Lil`59 and Cool Rails in the neck position, with a JB Jr. and Lil' Screamin' Demon in the bridge. I think something like that would be cool.
Unfortunately, the initial cost of experimentation is a bit steep.

Re: lil 59er
ive never done that but i did have a guitar that had a ssl2 closest to the neck, then a 59n right next to that, a reverse slant ssl6 next then a cc in the bridge, so its a shsh config i had a three way switch for the singles with a volume and tone, a three way for the buckers with a volume and tone then a three way to select between the singles and buckers (or both). very cool setup, you could do almost anything with it but the switching was a little much. i sold that guitar a while ago to some guy who saw it and had to have it. ive toyed with the idea of doing it again since it always got such a great reaction from players

Well, I've done the same type of wirings and such, and mounted a HB slanted (in a strat style guitar) ... not sure whether I liked the effect or not (the particular pup that I used was pretty lame), I was what the guy wanted though so hey ... I've seen some fenders with two lace sensors in the bridge like that, those sounded good, although the LSs were used independently there.
