Custom HotRod Strat Build.

Yes, that's the right Tonerider.

It's very hard to tell from specs what a pickup is going to sound like. The dual blades aren't going to sound quite like vintage Strat pickups, due to the ceramic magnets and the much higher inductance figure of 7.69 Henrys (which will change their resonant peak compared to the lower inductance figures of more vintage voiced pickups). But they probably won't sound like more traditional mini-humbuckers like the SD Little '59 or JB jr. But they do have 4-conductor wiring, which means that you have series and parallel wiring options for the two coils, plus a coil tap option for a much thinner sound if you really need it.

I'm actually not too worried about the Dual Blades not sounding like vintage Strat pickups, I can easily live with that, I'm more concerned about eliminating hum-noise, and if they don't sound like traditional mini-humbuckers I can live with that too, I might consider adding the coil-splitting options at a later date, so I'll keep that in mind, I'd only have to replace the pots with switching push-pull pots to implement the coil-splitting options, which will be easy enough to do, cheers for those suggestions, much appreciated.
