Hi all
I have a costume shop strat which I'm not sure regarding the pickups I would like to install.
The body is African walnut and the neck is maple with ebony finger board.
Playing style is from light blues / blues 25%, rock / hard rock 65% and a touch of metal 10%.
I'm thinking to install SPH90-1 Phat Cat P-90 Set (bridge + neck) but not sure regarding the middle pickup which obviously will be a single size.
What does the expert think ?
Thanks.

hmm, phat cats are singles, so you either cancel them out with each other, or in the in between positions for noiseless operation, it all depends on what positions you play most.

I recently set up my strat with a mini hum neck, antiquity 2 middle, seth love bridge. If I had phat cats instead, I would have them noise cancelling one another and the same middle pup I have now.

Do you want to wire this up like a strat 5 way, or do you want to take advantage of neck+bridge tones (which are probably amazing with phat cats)? In that case, I would do a master volume, neck tone, bridge tone, with push pull as an on/off switch for the middle pickup to be engaged, giving you every position possible. Tele style 3 way switch to keep it simple, so you can get neck phat cat/neck+bridge phat cats/bridge phat cat, and insert middle pup whenever you want.
