Can I reverse my Strat pickups 180 degrees to get more output out of my B & E string?
The majority of instruments manufactured by Fender have the traditional routing in the body and trying to reverse the pickups 180 degrees won’t fit. You would need a larger cavity or a pickup that has a oblong bottom plate like a Fender Jaguar. Some after market companies can make a reverse staggered pickup just for that purpose. You can also ask your rewinding service to reverse the pattern for you. It can easily be done with good results.
