they have S-1 on the Fender Hwy 1 models as well as the deluxe guitars. it uses a special capacitator to use the pickups in series connections rather than parallel, turning your guitar into one of the most versatile instruments on the planet

and its called a potentiometer not a capacitor...

BTW, for anyone interested in the Fender S-1 "stealth switching", it's a combination of the S-1 switch, hidden in the volume potentiometer, and a "superswitch" instead of the normal 5-way. These parts can be hard to find but these guys have them, along with a wide array of different knob styles. http://www.darrenriley.com/fenderparts.h...

Here's an example of the fun you can have with this stuff (scroll to the bottom of page 1):
http://www.darrenriley.com/fenderparts.h... 149482

I don't know how deep the control cavities are in the real Fenders, but I had to route out a lot of wood for both the S-1 volume pot/switch and for the superswitch to fit in the Squier. The neck pickup route was big enough for the 'bucker, but I had to deepen it under the height adjustment screws so the bracket could fit without the pup being too close to the strings. I think I cut the screws a bit too so I wouldn't have to do so much routing.

If you'd like an HH Strat, check out the Blacktop series; the one with the Floyd Rose is an incredible deal. These are the best MIM Strats I've seen and they even have 22 frets. But the one with the normal trem still has the 6-point style.

I get that for people on a budget having the HSS configuration is nice, but I kind of fail to see why you wouldn't just get an HH or an SSS. If you like the sound of both and you don't have a lot of dough, go for this I guess, but... I dunno... or get an HH with a coil split.

It's easy enough to install a coil split in an HH if the pups have 4 conductors. That's a $10 upgrade if you DIY. If not then you're talking $50-$500+ depending on your taste in 4-conductor humbuckers.

BTW, if you like SSS but sometimes want the bucker soung, but you already have HSS, you can split that coil to achieve the SSS. I recommend using Fender S-1 hardware like discussed above because if you use a push-pull tone pot, IMHO those look goofy with Fender Strat-style knobs. The S-1 hardware lets you hide the switch in the volume knob.
