Has anyone got these pickups in there guitar. I'm just thinking of what I would put in a Fender Strat (which I'd like to get), to perhaps make it a HSH, using 2 hot rails for bridge and neck pickups. Then perhaps use middle for a cool rail p'up. Hot rails are high output pickups: humbuckers in a single coil size. Has anyone had any experience with them? What are your thoughts on them? Cheers

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with them. However it sounds like a good idea. Easier to put these in a strat than humbuckers. I just wonder if they could sound the same, as they don't have as larger pickup area as a humbucker. You just have to go and try a guitar with the setup you want with hot rails, and see if you like it.

not many guitars have hot rails as stock. They also would sound very good, like hot humbuckers. I've heard a few sound clips of them and they are very nice!

Sorry guys, I never use it, but I think you can get the information from SD website or you have to join with some guitar mailing list

Yes, they fit for classic rock...I thought to replace my Squier Stratocaster single-coils (trebly) with humbucker single-sized but in the end I think Strato is a single-coli guitar...better change all the guitar!
