(if u dont wanna "extra split/phase humbucker selection tricks")

u can solder wires easily. if u wanna sure, u can get some fat strat diagrams on internet, and check the differences in wiring...

In simple terms... there would be no extra wiring... Depending on how you wanted to do it... there COULD be. For example... generally 500k pots are used for humbuckers instead of the 250k pots generally used for single coil pickups. Most HSS setups I do have one concentric 500k pot which controls just the humbucker... the lower knob is the tone and the higher knob is the volume... then one 250k pot for the single coil master volume and one 250k tone pot for the single coil master tone. This allows me to get TRUE humbucker tones through my humbucker... not just humcancelled single coil tone. This is a custom wiring sample that I've done in the past... You would also run into trouble if you were going to put an active pickup in your strat... like an EMG. These require 25k pots, a preamp battery, and a stereo jack... There are some things to keep in mind. If you want a good clean setup... I would suggest checking out the mini humbuckers by Seymour Duncan... there would be no routing needed... I put a set of the "Everything Axe" Seymour Duncans in my friends '57 Custom Shop Strat. I think the arrangement was a lil'59, Duckbucker, and a lil JB. They sound great and he didn't have to cut up his Custom Shop body or pickguard.
