    I think i'd better play it safe with my tech.. we're much less into modding in Singapore than the US, also cos parts are not that easy to come by, combine that with experienced techs.

    Your mod actually does everything i'd want, just being anal about the neck add. My rationale was that i'd like to keep to be able to switch to the neck with ease and so with the neck add i just flip it to neck and doesn't matter if the neck add is on or off, i'm there. With bridge add, i might flip it to neck and the bridge is there. But i think it's a small ask to adapt and get used to tapping it off n get the neck.

    With this mod i can remove tone pot from the middle and wire it to the bridge for it's stock positions yes? I wanna try having the mid wide open, and tame the highs on the bridge. I hope that doesn't screw up this mod in anyway.

    I think i'd be able to just forward that wiring scheme to the tech!

    My strat's tone controls are wired that way. It's often known as the Eric Johnson mod. I find it gives more sparkle to the neck/middle mix while taming the bridge nicely.

    I have my Strat wired this way as well and I find it really useful. My Tele, which has Strat p'ups in the neck and middle positions, is wired with a no-load pot for the master tone control. This takes the tone and cap out of the circuit entirely in the "10" position - best of both worlds.
    Electrics: Hagstrom Ultra Swede (Gold Eagle Burst) Gretsch 5120 Electromatic (Orange) Custom Nashville Blackout Telecaster (Black, Stat mid/neck p'ups; Lil Puncher (Modern Vintage) bridge p'up; Wilkinson Compensated Bridge w/ 3 brass saddles, Warmoth Vintage Modern Birdseye Maple Neck) Fender MIM Stratocaster (Blue Agave, Rosewood Fretboard, Fender Tex-Mex p'ups; GFS Trem/Block Kit) Highland Spitfire (semi-hollow, flame maple top w/ bubinga inlay)
