A friend of mine ordered a prewired Strat pickguard with Crawler/MM's, but that was one year ago. Ask the BKP-team. Btw I have the VHII/MM's in an ash Fender American Series. Lovely punchy, sparkling set.

Yer intresting pickup choice. I have that combination in a feline dinky.  VHII's and Mothers milk are great. Switching to bridge from the single coils gives quite a bit more welly.  Great combination of pickups. I suspect the Mothers milk would be great with a mule in the bridge too.

if you click on 'strats' in the online shop, at the bottom of the list is 'prewired pick guards'. click on this for further opions.(standard or deluxe)
i think they're great value for the messing about saved, quality of components & quality of workmanship.
for a strat it also means you can keep your old guard entire if you wish to sell your guitar later(obviously keeping the bkp'd one)

Mule would work too, thought I like Mules better in mahogany. My friend experimented by replacing a Crawler with a Mule (sc's are MM's) in his strat. That did not quite fit the bill in bright alder. Crawler is back in now.

I've only just noticed - how did you manage to get the VHII with two height ajustment screws on the bass side?

You got hawkeyes Philly. You caught me sending pictures of my Fender before taking out the original Fender HSS-set and the S1-switching. Duh! It has one screw now. (and of course the covered VHII)

Ah, I was hoping BKP had made 3 (or 4) screw humbuckers available.  Never mind.

That would be an improvement. But humbucker sits stable.
