Here's what I did on my most recent Strat project... I got a set of EMG's (81/85). And I got two concentric pots and the capacitors and all that stuff... Then I wired it just like a Les Paul using the concentric pots. This give you the independant volume and independant tone controls without drilling more holes in your pickguard. I also bought a pickguard that was cutout for humbuckers, two pot holes, and a toggle switch. I drilled out the toggle switch hole so I could put a Les Paul 3-way in. It's a pretty clean setup and it works great. I also replaced my single coils in my American Strat with some Custom Shop '69s. They sound great too!
