slanted pickguards

[warner-211]

Hey guys was wondering if i ordered a pickguard from warmouth with a slanted bridge humbucker route. Can i use regular humbuckers then. It seems that humbuclers are cheaper than trembuckers on the secondary market. Will it work?
Thanks

Re: slanted pickguards

A pickguard aperture, cut at approximately the angle associated with a single coil Stratocaster bridge position pickup, requires a correspondingly angled rout in the body timber to accept the pickup.

The polepieces of a regular width humbucker set at the slanted angle will not align directly with the strings. This looks naff but is nothing to worry about provided that the magnetic field senses all of the strings equally.

Some dude named Edward seemed to manage pretty well.
