For not buying one of these when they were available last year.
There are none to be found anywhere and the reviews I have read are great.

That guitar has an SSS configuration.
The one I'm looking for is HSH.

Thanks for looking, though! I appreciate it.

I've actually gone so far as to visit Wormoth's site and piece together one just like this. But my guitar knowledge is lacking right now, only been playing for about 6 months to a year, give or take.
It appears Fender doesn't sell these pickups separately. Wormoth only offered Seymour Duncan and I have no idea which of those would match what's in the original Fender model.
Guess I'll just wait for one to come along used.

I'm going to post a suggestion on the Lounge Forum to address this. :wink:

Better to have first knowledge of a run coming to market than have to make aftermarket alterations. See the thread I've posted in the Lounge Forum regarding FSR's.

You might have your heart set on that Red HSS but take a butcher's at this one:

I nearly had a crisis when I saw that .... I've no budget for that now as I want to go to Vietnam next year.... on the other hand Vietnam will still be there in 2014.

An HSH configured Stratocaster.
I don't know all that much about swapping parts or I would have rebuilt my own.
I think a guitar tech at Guitar Center would charge me a small fortune to do that, yes? No?

Production line Strats can be expected to have been routed HSH regardless of the electronics. Most likely, all you would have to have done was to drop in a prewired HSH pickguard of your choice. However, I'm still advocating for advanced notice to us on these FSR's.
