Help with project guitar
I have a Squier strat a AE i think although not the best guitar i like the way it
plays and have started upgrading it new bridge nut tuners etc. It came to me with a Dimarzio Fast track 2 in the bridge and mim standard pups in middle and neck positions. My question is can it hold a full size humbucker if not what would be a good match for the Fast track. Thanks in advance Ryan. |

I'm confused as to what your asking? Most strats can have humbuckers at the bridge and ne k if you get the right pickgaurd, you will probably want 500k pots too

Yeah you can get pickgaurds for pretty much whatever pickup configuration you want.. check out dragonfire guitars website.. they have a lot of loaded and unloaded pickgaurds to choose from

From someone who's not at all familiar with your pickup:
I'd ask whoever made it if it's the same size as a normal humbucker. If it isn't, I'd find a match or get a pick guard that will accept a normally sized humbucker. |

The Fast track 2 is made by dimarzio and is a single coil sized humbucker im looking at wanting a good match for the neck as the fast track is in the bridge or wondering if i can
put a normal humbucker in the bridge and move the fast track to the neck position. Dont know how to tell if my squier can hold a normal sized humbucker. |

Simply remove the pickguard and check if it's routed for single coils, HSH, or even HHH, aka swimming pool routing. If it has the space for a humbucker, then you can simply get a new pickguard, or cut your current one to fit a humbucker in it.
