I have had my Strat for about 5 years, and I want to do make some modifications to it. Specifically, I want to install EMG 81 pickups into it. I have never done something like this (though I can solder relatively well), and I wanted to make sure that I can use the EMGs with the Strat, which only has "space" in the pickguard for 3 single coil pickups. While I know that I can just replace the pickguard, I wanted to make sure that the pickups would work with my guitar.
Thanks for any help!
