Obviously they won't be identical, and year, etc. will make a difference too. I'm just curious if they're fairly close or very different.

Anyone with experience?

I have a Godin with HSH - it still quacks, but not like a real strat. Coil tapping can get you there, with the right pickups.

The best Strat I ever had was wired with a Dimarzio HS-3 in the bridge, which is a stacked humbucker famously used by Yngwie, and two stock Strat pups - using a Superswitch I was able to make it extremely quiet, while always having two single coils in the notch positions. I was even able to add the HS3's silent coil to the neck pickup, which wasn't quite like a normal neck, but pretty close with no buzz.
