Bridge Neck

What’s the best humbucker pickup for a strat?
I’m looking for a bit of Les Paul sound in it, just for some of the more aggressive sounding rock. And what would be the right place to put it(bridge, neck, middle)? Thanks!
Hello there,
A Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates would be a good choice. Putting the humbucker in the bridge position would be appropriate. Fender makes models of the Stratocaster that have a humbucker. Those have it at the bridge position and are referred to as an HSS pickup configuration.. Unless you have a vintage reissue type body, the pickup cavity will be routed to accept a humbucker. You will have no trouble with the pickguard. There are many HSS cut pickguards for the Strat.
You can forget about the answer suggesting a P-90. A P-90 is a single coil pickup and does not sound like a humbucker. It is a wide shaped pickup. A P-90 will not fit on a Strat unless you enlarge the pickup cavity quite a bit. You would also have to have a custom cut pickguard made. They don’t make those pickguards because a P-90 is too wide to fit on a Strat pickguard.
