Strat-size humbucker choices?

Post by grokostimpy »

Regarding humbuckers for a Strat,

I decided I want a neck and bridge humbucker, but I'm torn between these two ideas:
SD: Lil'59 bridge, Cool-rail neck.
- or -
Dimarzio: Pro track bridge, Chopper neck

I've heard the demos and I think they all sound pretty good. I thought I'd see if you guys have some opinions you'd like to offer before I drop the $$ for one of these little guys?

I like to play classic rock, hard rock, and blues. Thanks for the help!!!

you want a strat-sized humbucker? thats a bit huge isn't it?
the closest dimensions I could find were
100 x 5(8) x 33 cm (8 is the width and considering the knobs and the stick).



and I don't know of anyone that makes a working humbucker that size :(

You could put it in a grand piano or something.
