Sweet. I have one in the bridge of my main LP and I love it. I'm thinking of trying a set of their single coils for a strat that needs some life. Enjoy!

Series/Parallel perhaps?

A northern ash strat body is what they're going in.

Haven't decided how to wire them yet. THat's why I bought the 4 conductor versions.

Any suggestions?

Sorry, didn't see your suggestion earlier.

I don't really know anything about how humbuckers can be wired up.

Is series/paralell the standard for two humbuckers?

I'll google some stuff to find out more......

With the 4-wire you can do standard series with the coils but then do a series/parallel push/pull, a coil cut (single coil), change phase, etc. For 2 humbuckers, about as far as you can go options wise is the '90s Gibson Jimmy Page model, with a few variations. Check out some of the pickup mfg. websites and "google" pickup wiring. Lots of options.
