Mis-matched knobs are intentional.

Well, I ordered and received one of the Humbuckers from Hell for the neck.  Plan on installing it this weekend if time allows.  We'll see if it works for me.  If not, I will gladly look at one of the others suggested.  Thanks all.

Thanks guys.  Just going to roll with it and enjoy.  Excited for the project.  Just struck a deal on a good used Fender Blacktop HH Strat to use as my modding base.  Should be fun!

DON'T DO IT 

Hi there fancy seeing you here. ;-) do you mean use that pick up, or is this more about your traditional dislike of strats?

Thanks guys.  Hey, mine does not appear to be F spaced.  It will be going into a Fender Blacktop Strat HH.  Do you guys think it is a big deal for it not to be F spaced?

I have a Virtual Hot PAF dp214 I bought from a guy a long time ago and never did anything with it.  I am finally going to use it in a HH superstrat build.  I don't think it is F spaced, but I am not thinking I am worried about that based on what I have read. 

I am looking to end up with a kind of Rivers Cuomo-esque sounding guitar.  So, was thinking of putting the Humbucker from Hell in the neck.  The VH PAF seems to be just slightly hotter than the Seymour Duncan Trembucker '59 Rivers had in his guitar, but not too much, and again, I am not that worried about it being a full tribute guitar or anything.  Just want to make sure it will work ok. 

Any advice would be appreciated.  If you want to suggest a different neck pickup, feel free also, and please tell me why you make your suggestion. 

Thanks!

New guy here.  Looking to use a Dimarzio Virtual Hot PAF DP214 I have had a while and seeking some advice on what to pair it with in a superstrat.  Thinking Humbucker from Hell in the neck, PAF in the bridge.

Will start a thread. 

Thanks for letting me join!
