Strat middle rail humbucker?

[Crunchifyable]

Wayne Kramer of the MC5 put a full size Gibson HB in his red, white and blue Strat. A great option is Bill & Becky Lawrence Wilde L45-S. Great pick up at a reasonable price. I have a SAtrat with three of 'em and it's really nice.

The L45 is Bill's twin blade masterpiece, adapting his original twin blade for his last and proudest achievement in noisefree design. The pickup uses stainless steel blades to guide a tightly focused but uniform magnetic window in a perfectly structured Alnico 5 circuit for unparalleled...

Thats' cool, I didn't know they were still around making pickups.

I have the Dave Murry strat. It sounds great. But, with all 3 humbuckers on this strat, it sounds great but does not come close to any Les Paul sound.

I have a couple Les Pauls and a Tele even, so it's not about being exact but being usable. Or at least more usable than the stock single middle coil, which I guess may just be too low output to do any good.

I kinda went a different route...I removed the stock humbucker and replaced it with a single / humbucker pickup. So using the five way switch I wired in the new "single coil" in place of the old "middle single coil". So I can get the traditional "strat" tone of the bridge or neck, or a very hot bridge humbucker for heavier stuff. Or bridge and neck single coils together like a Tele.

Something called a "Stratobucker." Not sure who created the concept.
