say - you owe alot of $ for a rebuilt transmission so you want a pink bullet strat for $100 but you cant afford sd pickups. i dont know if this is good - i just thought of it while i was smoking in the garage.

1)change the wiring so the 3 knobs are bridge volume/middle volume/neck volume - bridge at 7 for rythym/middle turned all the way off/neck all the way up for lead
2)put the middle pickup all the way down to the pickgaurd and the neck and bridge pickups almost touching the strings
3)put a screw at both ends of the switch slot so its easy to switch from pos 2 and 4 fast

so when you use pos 2 it sounds like bridge without hum and pos 4 sounds like neck with no hum and the middle turns it off without touching the volume knobs at all. that might be cool for poor people.

is that possible? using only the pieces the guitar comes with?

That sound pretty wild but the strat already comes set up to hum cancel when you use two pickups (middle/Bridge) (middle/neck). So all you would have to do is try your pickup hight adjustments first see if they work for you.

You can't lose anything by trying. Let me know if it works.

Seems like a lot of work when 2 and 4 are already hum-cancelling.

Don't fix it if it ain't broke.
