I am interested in having a Humbucker installed on my American Strat. The pickup will be on the bridge. I would like a full sized humbucker and am wondering what suggestions you all would have to help me in my decision. I play mostly blues and classic rock music.

First thing, have you removed the pickguard to see how the body is routed?

If the body is not routed to take a humbucker, putting one in will not be easy.

Seymour Duncan's Jeff Beck and Pearly Gates are very good all-around humbuckers. Remeber that humbuckers prefer 500k volume potentiometer, so it will mess a little bit of singlecoil's sound if you change it.

Best idea is to buy another humbucker pickup, get rid of the standard Fender pickups and wire them up so that it looks like a jazz bass. Me, having a les paul, would know how well they sound and on a Strat, would sound even better. give it a shot.
