I use the stacked lil59 seymor duncan in the bridge. I must note two things:
1. stacked single will never sound as good as the real sized humbucker 2. lil 59 is to midrange focused and with little harmonics. If you are getting one, choose the one that has most harmonics. I think JB Jr, and lil screaming demon are good choices, I've seen them on few guitars that were used by pros and they sounded very good. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Hotrail is a good choice for H/B, also Seymour Duncan do quite a few other H/B options:-
There's the Cool Rails, The Duckbuckers, JB Jr, Li'l Screamin' Demon, Little 59 and Vintage Rails!! All the links take you to the SD site where they describe the Harmonic qualities of each model!! -------------------- I'd rather have a full Bottle in front of me than a full Frontal Lobotomy!!

Yea, Ivan, I'm glad to hear your thoughts and actual experiences. Wouldn't it be nice if you could get both the perfect Les Paul sounds and the perfect Strat sounds from the same guitar. I think that the PRS sort of gets a good middle ground with nice humbucker sounds and decent single coil sounds but my old Les Paul (which weighs a about a ton so I don't play it much any more) has an edge on "fatness" and downright ballsy output while the strat quack and shimmering highs can't be had on the PRS either. It must be other factors like mahogany versus swamp ash (woods) and glued vs. bolt on kneck are significant too. Anytime mate. Yeah wood and build type is what counts the most actually. Good wood - better sound, richer and with more harmonics and resonance. Everything else is secondary. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I read in an article that only year 2000 and above Standard Series Strats have the enlarged cavities in bridge/neck for hum upgrades. Before 2000 they made them with single-sized cavities.

I was reading an article about 2000 year Standard models, here it is, might be useful reading:
http://www.legendarytones.com/fendstrat90.html here's the quote from the article: QUOTE In addition, the bodies were now routed so that any number of pickup configurations could be used rather than just the traditional three single-coils. As the years progressed, further changes were incorporated from TBX tone controls and a new hotter Delta tone pickup system for increased output.
