Hi there!
I was just wondering, which humbucker is in the Tom Delonge Strat?
Of course I know it is a Seymour Duncan SH-8 invader but in the Fender parts list it says "Pickup, Neck, Duncan Invader" so does this mean they really built in the "neck"-Invader into the bridge position and not the 16.8k "bridge"-Invader?!
I am thinking about building my own leftie Tom Delonge Strat so it would be very helpful to know which humbucker I have to buy... :wink:

I hope someone can help me... :)

Welcome.

That's what it means. The truth of the matter is, some players like their pickups less powerful than others. As you know, neck and bridge models exist for many of the same pickup designs out there. Yet, and not just in Delonge's case, many players think the bridge model of a particular pickup's design may be a bit 'over the top' for their stylings and therefore, favor the neck pickup version as their choice for their bridge position pickup. This is a VERY common situation.

You're welcome.

If you're in a quandary over whether to bag the neck or bridge model of this pickup, consider this: You can lower the volume of the bridge model pickup to equal that of the neck but you can't raise the volume of the neck model pickup to equal that of the bridge.
