I have an American Special SSS and mine is routed for a humbucker in the bridge. It is routed HSS. Do you not like the TS pickup? For me I had to dial back the tone knob a bit, now I love it. I play Metal and Blues and it works best between 2 and 6 depending on what I am playing.

Thanks guys, just wanted to know before I bought one, I'm not a fan of the texas specials and would like the option of fitting a humbucker.
