Not going to do it. YOu want gibson sound, you need a heavy guitar with humbuckers, not a light guitar with singles.
THat said - Stacked hums don't sound like hums. They sound like slightly grittier single coils, because one coil of the set is too far awway from the strings to pick anything up from them, the only reason it sounds different at all is the extra resistance from the other coils wire wraps.
You want a strat with a humbucker in it, it still wont sound like a gibson, but grabbing something like a dimarzio tone zone, or other dark humbucker, will help you on the way. Most strat bodies are routed for humbuckers underneath the pickguard anyway. Take the pickguard off and have a look. If the bridge pickup route is big and rectangular, you can just modify your pickguard or change your pickguard, and drop a humbucker straight in.
If its a triangular type of rout, then its single coil only. THe best I can advise there is the seymour duncan single coil size humbuckers, like the lil screamin demon, or the lil JB.
This is just a quick post btw, any questions, post back. I can talk all day about this stuff.
