I'm Looking to put three new pickups in my strat. I already purchased them and have now been told they won't work together. I'm new to this whole thing so is there anyone who can offer a suggestion or correct my understanding of this. Seymour Duncan lipstick in the neck, fender custom shop Texas special in the mid and a Seymour Duncan lil59 in the bridge. I believe the lipstick has a resistance of around 4.4 , Texas spe 6.4 and I got the lil 59 second hand and didn't get a chance to multimeter it but the specs on the web depending on the two it coul be varies from 9.6-17.3

You'll get very different sounds from each pickup, but there's no reason at all why they won't work together.
You might find that the SD pickups need the hot and ground wires to be switched around relative to the Fender pickup, but that's about all of the problems (other than output levels) in a nutshell.

You could even wire it so the Lil'59 coil splits automatically when the middle/bridge position is selected on a 5 way switch, to give a better quack in that position.
