Installing a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails SR-1 pickup into a Fender (Mexi) Stratocaster

I recently installed a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails SR-1 (humbucker) pickup into the bridge position of my Fender Mexi Stratocaster. I've been very pleased with the results, and wanted to do a quick demo of the difference in sound between the neck/middle (single coil) and bridge (humbucker) pickups. In the video, I play a few sequences under both clean and distorted channels through a Marshall practice amp. I noticed after recording this that the B string is annoyingly out of tune, but hopefully it's not too distracting :) Enjoy!

@M3TALH3AD923 oh, did elementary school let out early today? Sounds like you're cranky; you may need a nap.

that's what im gonna do, install a humbucker in my strat.. but i don't know if i can make it cause my strat isn't a fender

[sumitsumit]

@MetalUpYourAssFuck should work fine on a non-fender; just be careful about the wiring. Most strat copies have wiring very similar to the fender.

hi Id like to put this pickup to my lefty stratocaster...my question is Do I need a special pickup for the left handed strat??

[sumitsumit]

@inflamed nope - that's a lefty strat you're seeing in my video - I'm a lefty player as well. Just be careful when you're wiring it up, since the diagrams assume you have a right-handed guitar.

I have an american fender strat bought it today all single coils when i plugged into my half stack amp the sound is not that heavy like my gibson studio... Is this pickup humbucker made for rock thicker sound?

[STEVO1849]

@M3TALH3AD923 Man, your an asshole.

“Faggot, I hate the way you talk”??? What the fuck does that mean? He can’t control how his voice sounds.

Your an idiot.
