Hey everyone! New member here.

I tried using the handy "Search" feature before posting this question but "MIM" came back with a lot of results.

I'm looking to pickup a MIM Strat (preferably in Agave Blue) to have some fun customizing.

Is the pickup routing on the MIM Strat's already done for a humbucker in the bridge?

I'm looking to either get a HSS or make it that way.

Thanks in advance for any answers!

That's not true for every Mexican model Strat though.

You are correct not all MIM's are.

Does anyone know if certain years are routed for humbuckers?

I read your original question too quickly while being too tired. I misinterpreted it to mean all MIM Agave Blue Strats.

This color was issued from 2002 through 2006. 2002 was also the year Fender started the H/S/H rout. So, all Standard Agave Blue MIM Strats (excluding any vintage spec models) have your desired cut out(s).
