Re: Fender strat MIM lonestar deluxe

I myself prefer to have one control the both the neck and middle, and no tone on the bridge. But that's more of an individual quirk than anything. SRV had one tone control wired to the bridge instead of the middle pickup, where it belonged. It also makes sense to wire the neck and middle to one and the bridge to the other.

I bought a very nice deep blue metallic 2005 MIM HSS Strat. I put a new pickguard on with a Dimarzio FRED and a GFS Lil Killer neck pickup-all re-wired with 500k pots. It has turned out really well and i dig the tone from the FRED and it can do metal pretty well!

The FRED is a surprisingly versatile pickup. I used one in a hard rock band for a few years with great results. I found I was able to get VH-style tones out of it relatively easily.

As for the tone controls - I usually like wiring tone #2 to the bridge pickup if I don't just use a 2-knob setup.
