Hum-canceling pickups for a Fender VI.

MIJ-VI

I've searched high & low for hum-canceling Jaguar pickups for my MIJ Fender VI. None appear to exist.

Therefore, plan B will be to use hum-canceling Strat pickups which will fit in an MIJ 'VI without further routing.

I am aware that there are a lot of Strat pickups which might fit in a Fender VI, however, I am only interested in the experiences of those who have actually installed Strat pickups which do fit in their 'VIs.

One pickup which appears to be a good candidate for installation in an MIJ Fender VI would be the Lace Holy Grail: http://lacemusic.com/electric_pickups/holy_grail/holy_grail_specs.php

Other potential options would include these units from Seymour Duncan:

Duckbuckers™ SDBR-1: http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/stratocaster/progressive/duckbuckers_sdb/

Little '59™ for Strat SL59-1: http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/stratocaster/cutting-edge/little_59_for_s/

Vintage Rails™ SVR-1: http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/stratocaster/progressive/vintage_rails_s/

Does anyone have any experience using these, or similar-sized pickups in their Fender VI?

Thanks.
