The Pickup Place / Re: Tonezone S pickup in middle position of strat???

Thanks.

I can't believe I didn't think of that to begin with. When I was installing the Tone Zone S, I noticed that my MIM strat is routed for either a humbucker or single coil in the bridge position. I felt like a complete idiot since I had already purchased the Tone Zone S.  

I could have purchased a 'real' humbucker instead.

I meant and should have said that the Tone Zone S doesn't sound as good as its humbucker counterpart.

I ended up splicing the wire that was too short and was able to properly connect the Tonezone S pickup successfully.

I am not quite convinced that the Tonezone S has nailed the PAF sound though. I'm wondering if it's just not possible for a single coil humbucker to sound like an actual humbucker. It still sounds good...but, not quite the real thing, in my opinion. Any thoughts?

Hi,

I accidentally cut off too much wire on the ToneZone S pickup I am installing in my MIM Strat. I ordered some more pickup wire, but, for the time being can I put the ToneZone S pickup in the middle position of my Strat? There's enough wire for this. Will it sound right?

Thanks.
