    I need a Low-output ( non shrill or ice-picky ) Bridge Humbucker for a Suhr Strat with Lollar Blonde's ( which I Love ) in the neck and middle. Any input is much appreciated.

    HSS or HSH is actually the best real world combination. That said, I am not ruining my vintage SSS Strat routes anytime soon.

    I'd much prefer to modify a Stratocaster for heavy genres cause 1. they're insanely easy to work on, so you can chuck any pickup you want in there, and 2. If you're dropping tunings, they'll hold up a little better without changing string gauges thanks to the slightly longer scale length, so you can stick to a particular gauge to a certain extent (I like 10-52's, which hold well all the way down to Drop B, surprisingly).

    I know the video is older but yes. Its very close! I have been playing 38 years and most of my guitars I always revert to HSS.

    How do you wire the hb split for the tune pot?

    This was helpful but the background music was way too distracting and a little overwhelming.

    a friend of mine recommended me a Pacifica 112v for the same reason. No regret. Still can play metal on it.

    I'm an HSS man myself. I currently have two Fender Stratocasters in HSS. One is a 2007 Lonestar with a Pearly Gates Plus humbucker( alnico 5 ) and two Texas Special single coils. This thing rocks and rolls!

    You explained this very well. I was debating getting an HsH or an Hss, but you've convinced me.

    I cracked tf up when you played that first riff, you would’ve thought that was a ESP running through a rectifier 😂

    This answered all my questions and more. Wow! Thank you. I might just get the setup you have with a obsidian wire solderless kit and stop worrying about what goes well together.

    I agree that HSS is the best combination, but I completely disagree about the output matching and pot resistance.
