Title: Humbuckers in American Fender Strat Plus?
Post by: joefx69 on July 29, 2010, 02:54:18 PM

Hey everyone.

Does anyone have any experience in this specific setup?

Suppose I just want to know would it fit?

Havent had time to open the guitar up yet and look for myself so all help much appreciated

Depending on the age of the Strat Plus, the body will either have HSH routing or one big rectangular "swimming pool" rout, so it's OK for humbuckers.

I'd get humbuckers with short legs, or the routing might not be deep enough.  And to be 100% sure, use a genuine Fender scratchplate - if you get a generic one with the bridge humbucker very close to the bridge, it may not line up with the routing.
