Squire strat with humbucker

[percypineapple]

Hi all again,

Still trying to figure out the strat sound. I thought it must be the pick ups, but now see that there is a strat with a humbucker. Has anyone heard one, does it sound like a hank marvin sounding strat? I mentioned in an earlier posting that I was having a quick strum/playabout when the singer walked in and said " thats a strat if ever i heard one " it was a squire strat, £ 35 with amp, a bit cheaply made.but great guitar to play. so, does the humbucker affect the early strat sound?

Yes, I am told it will fatten the sound, unless you have a coil tap, as humb has 2 coils

The traditional Strat sound is achieved with single coil. Some Strats, HSS, are available with a Humbucker in the bridge position to fatten the sound but if you're looking for the "old" Hank sound stick with single and plenty of vibraro!
