Most popular Strat Controls Schemes

No he didn't. :laugh2:

Mistake 1: Three 6K - 6.3K pickups results in a thin and ice picky bridge pickup.

Leo should have gone with a 9K or hotter bridge pickup like Seymour uses in the Surfer set.

Mistake 2: Leo should have used a 5 way switch and not a 3 way switch right from the get go. Leo never used a 5 way during the time he owned Fender...always a 3 way.

Mistake 3: Leo should have gone with a RW/RP middle pickup for humcancelling in the #2 and #4 switch positions.

Mistake 4: Leo should have connected the second tone control to the bridge pickup...not the middle pickup.

Mistake 5: This is personal preference but .047 is to big for a tone cap. .02 leaves more mids in the signal when the tone control is turned down and I much prefer the .02 value.

Lew knows what he's talking about.

What I'd recommend is the master volume, master tone, blender for the bridge/neck. Then install a mini switch (with a lot of leads). You can wire it up to put neck and mid in series, or even middle and bridge in series.
My highway 1 has 9 way switching. And I can run all 3 in parallel, bridge + neck, neck+mid in series, neck+mid in series in parallel with bridge, as well as the usual 5 positions. I also have a master volume with a 50s mod (thanks to Lew). Oh and dont forget to quiet the beast.
