I'm not sure how to respond.  Why wouldn't you?<br><br>Put a humbucker at the bridge and you've got the most versatile guitar made.  Classic strat sound at the neck for rhythm playing and the aggressive sound of the humbucker for soloing at the bridge.

If you really prefer this configuration, why not pick one of those guitars? To me, if you want a strat, you get a strat. If you don't want a strat you get something else. Why? For the same reason it's stupid to put a whammybar and high-gain pickups on a telecaster. There are already guitars suitable for you if that's what you want.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Why would you want a humbucker in a stratocaster? Aren't there enough stratocaster-style guitars with humbuckers around?
Why would I want a humbucker in a Stratocaster?  How about because I already have a Hwy One Strat with SSS configuration?  I love the Strat's contoured body and the neck, and I would love to have that shape combined with a hummer for a different sound. <br><br>Are there enough strat-style guitars with hummers around? Maybe, but the only one that matters to me is the one I would like to be playing.  And IMO the one at the top of this thread is one hella good-looking guitar.   :twisted: <br><br>Margaret]]></content:encoded>
