I've just bought a scratchplate complete with all electrics from a 2010 one of these on EBay (it was a bargain price I thought at $130) so I thought I'd throw 'some light' on the subject here.
First, a video on the 'Blacktop' Strat:

I did it.

I did it.

I put a pair of mini humbuckers on neck and bridge which did growl but again, the single pole tone was woolly and not Strat .
I wired the middle pick-up of the standard set-up so as to be in series with either the neck or bridge pick-ups but it didn't humbuck, it just went muddy.
Project abandoned.
