strat mod

Sorry, nothing to do with SD or pups, I need a little strat wiring help:
... add a jumper wire so that the neck tone pot controls both the neck and bridge pickups. That way, you can vary the tone of all three pickups, and get complete control over any possible combination (with the stock switch).

Any thoughts or better still, sketches on the back of a slightly damp napkin?:nervous:

Re: strat mod

Let me just check I have this correct.
This schematic has 3 separate mods to it.
1. Mini toggle for bridge pup activation regardless of 5-way blade switch position.
2. Tone pot 1 linked to neck and mid pups, tone pot 2 linked to Bridge pup
3. Little 0.0025 uf cap and 220k resistor across hot and mid vol pot lugs for treble bleed.
Is that all present and correct?

Re: strat mod

The tone control pots are wired somewhat unconventionaly, but they'll work fine. Resistance will increase with clockwise rotation. Thats all that really counts.

Other than that, looks fine.
