Tokai AST 56....

Any of you fellows know what the route is on these? Could I do two humbuckers???

Im assuming this is a Tokai china/korea 56 strat type, based on the model designation. Tokai in general is very true to whatever it is cloning, especially vintage pieces...IOW it is probably routed just like a 56 strat.

This one is MIJ, I've seen pics online with people replacing the bridge single with hbs but I can't find the route.....

Don't know if I want to bother now than, I really need a bridge humbucker, I need more guitars for all these killer pups I've been collecting!

It's not that difficult to rout out the bridge for a humbucker. Even a good sharp chisel will do the job easily. Then cover up any imperfections with a new hss pickguard.
