February Birthdays 
Decided to move my middle-position GFS Surf90 to bridge position and want to add another pickup. What's an ideal distance of pole piece centers from the saddle point of 1st string? My Strat and has 1 3/8" spacing.
The GFS Surf90 has an impedance of 7.8k ohms. I am thinking of a GFS 6k ohm Dano-style Lipstick Tube pickup, reverse-wound/reverse polarity (w/Strat mount) might compliment the Surf90 in the neck position. What would be an ideal impedance for that position relative to the bridge's 7.8k? GFS also sells a Surf90 neck pickup, RW/RP @ 7.2 k ohms. Does anyone think the Surf90/Lipstick disparate combo would suck?
Since the EC200 'Tulip' body is so short, I don't want more than 2 knobs (V & T)+ pickup slider switches cluttering up the limited pickguard space. Thinking a Fender Mustang scheme might work nicely, affording the cool out-of-phase configuration.
Would height adjustments be sufficient to balance two pickups of differing impedance without separate volume controls?
Any suggestions are welcome.
I like the prices of GFS parts and components. It's a cheap guitar underneath all the french polish and gold leaf so I don't see spending hundreds on it, at least not now.
I also found that GFS has a ABS Gibson-type tuneamatic bridge for less than half the price of a similar product from Allparts, which Jeff suggested above. Anybody know if the GFS bridge is bad news?
