Soldering
A real humbucker that still fits the existing single-coil-sized route, no routing needed.
Why we say this
A humbucker built into a single-coil-sized housing so it drops into a standard Strat single-coil route with no routing.
Pickup
Seymour Duncan JB Jr. SJBJ-1b (Strat, Bridge)
A true dual-coil humbucker built into a Strat-sized single-coil housing, so it drops into a standard Strat-style single-coil route without routing.

Installation notes
Designed for 250k pots, matching the single-coil circuits it replaces rather than the 500k pots typical of full-size humbucker wiring.

Why we say this

Soldering
Fits the standard Strat single-coil route with no routing needed. Humbucker-style pole pieces are not typically staggered like a single-coil, so handedness is not a real concern here. You will need to solder it in.
Why we say this
A humbucker built into a single-coil-sized housing, drops into the standard Strat route with no routing. Humbucker-style pole pieces are not staggered the way vintage single-coils are, so this is not expected to carry the same handedness-specific stagger risk as this guitar's other pickup options, though that has not been independently confirmed for this exact model.

Soldering
A real humbucker that still fits the existing single-coil-sized route, no routing needed. A full-size humbucker would need the cavity cut larger, this one skips that step.
Why we say this
A humbucker built into a single-coil-sized housing specifically so it drops into a standard Strat single-coil route with no routing. Worth flagging because a full-size humbucker in the bridge position would need the cavity enlarged, this one is designed to avoid that.

Soldering
A genuine humbucker squeezed into the stock bridge slot. Unlike a staggered single-coil, this style of pickup works the same for left and right-handed guitars, no stagger to worry about. Bridge position only. Needs soldering.
Why we say this
A true dual-coil humbucker built into a single-coil-sized housing, drops into the standard Strat bridge single-coil route without any body routing, not affected by handedness. Unlike this guitar's other pickup options, this is a genuine humbucker with individually height-adjustable poles rather than a staggered single-coil, so it sidesteps the left-handed stagger question entirely. Bridge position only.
