Hey guys im left handed and want to get a hss strat but they dont make them lefthanded so i was wondering if i could get a lefthanded mim stardard sss strat and then remove the neck pickup and throw in a humbucker


P.S. I now about singlecoil sized humbuckers but would rather just throw in a regular sized humbucker so there is more to choose from

Thanks for the help guys

Yes you can do that, you will need to modify or even better just replace the pickguard with a HSS pickguard and then replace the Single coil bridge pickup with the Humbucker pickup its fairly easy to do... plus the body is already routed for a humbucker in the bridge position so you will not have any problem with it :)
