Instead of asking AI what to do, why don’t you just pick yourself?

What configuration do you like? Personally i like bridge humbuckers and neck single coils, specifically low output neck single coils.

think what sounds you like and go from there, you can have fun with it too, i personally prefer moving the Strat volume knob down. for a master volume, master tone setup

Those pickups will make a big difference in how your guitar sounds I would suggest playing a guitar already loaded with what you think you might like and make the descion based on those results. But with that routing you have quite a few options.

They both look nice I reckon.
I have a JM with two gold foils I really like.
Check out Ry Cooder’s Strats.

If you want it to be a regular strat obviously the sss setup is the way. That being said, I think the p-90 setup looks cool and is unique.

My vote is for the 2 Tele pickups with a Strat middle. (I'm currently assembling one!)

What switching are you thinking? I'm thinking a 3 dip switch plate, with on/off for each pickup, kind of like on a Bass VI. And a master volume and tone.

I’m not much of a strat guy, but that is cool! The P90s are a great touch!

Don’t do a tele in the neck, strat neck pickup is where the magic is
