    single single single but that leaves a lot a room for variation

    and you can spend more money fill up a strat with every thing from hoitsy toitsy boutique pups to those ever so rare and eclectic wonders found only in the dark corners and nooks and cranny's of only the most seemly pawn shops

    S/S/S is a must for all Strat Lovers, but hey, if you can afford more than one.. mix it up...

    But I think you need to at least have one with s/s/s then start adding s/s/h etc..

    I think the greatness of the strat is it's versatility... Do what you want with it...

    When I first shopped for a guitar, I had picked a H/S/S as a target. Then I researched some more and decided to start with a tradtional strat, (so I voted S/S/S above) then add a different sounding guitar later. Probably sometime in the next year I will try to. I am thinking of the following in order: 1. Squire '51 that I can mod as I see fit as I get to know it, 2. H/S/S Overstock Squire of some kind. Really torn between the two. 3. A horse of a completely different color would be an LP or SG knockoff. I would like to stay more with a strat type of shape, however, so it is easier for my son to use. An LP or Tele (unless it was a modded contoured one) seems to big and clunky for him.

    If you want a classic and warm humbucker sound get a Les Paul.
    That's the reason why I bough a Les instead of frankensteining my strat.

    I changed from 57/62 vintage pu's to Texas Special pu's. These give me the sound I have ever wanted my Strat to sound like.

    Co-signed, I bought my SSS Strat for that bright Strat sound, not the humbucking sound.
