Tone Control Mod


Tone control wiring.
This is the modified wiring;
move your mouse over the sketch to see the stock schematic.

        Here's a simple and (for me) essential strat tone control mod. It gives a tone control where it's really needed, dedicated to the bridge pickup. The other two pickups share the first tone control.

        I like the bridge pickup rolled off to 7, but don't want that for the middle or neck/mid positions, so having the bridge pickup with its own unshared control is the solution. (Note that a shared control effects 4 of the 5 positions.) The neck/mid control is left at or near 10.

Snip the wire. Connect the short end. Connect the long end.
