So I think I'm going to get the 59 but could someone please post a link to where I could buy one with fender style spacing.  It seems like these things are spaced for les paul style guitars.  I saw the 59 junior for strat but I want to buy the full size one(I'm assuming there are some tonal properties that are compromised with a smaller size humbucker).  Anyone had experience with this?  Should I just call SD and request spacing for fender bridge?  thanks for the advice yall, you guys are great.  I'll post a picture of my full rig with some sound samples before I take off for this little mini tour!

Unfortunately I do not. I always thought it was picking nits, whether the magnets are directly beneath the strings. However, if it doesn't physically fit I bet Ol' Seymour could help you out!

Yeah when I got mine, I just called SD.  FWIW they did not respond well to email.

Sorry this is way late... I sent mine to SD and they put the strat mounts on it. It turned out to be the only way to do it after searching for the brackets for days. Unfortunately, it did take a couple of weeks for them to send it back.
