I just installed the SNCs on my Strat. In the wiring diagram, there is an "Optional Jumper For Bridge Tone Control." Can someone explain what that is and what it does?

Thanks!

The original Stratocaster wiring was for the bridge pickup to not have any tone control. Rather, the upper tone was for the neck pickup and the lower tone was for the middle pickup. Many players didn't like how trebly the bridge pickup could be on a Stratocaster and they couldn't do anything about it. So, many tech, player, and now Fender implement that jumper wire so by utilizing it, the lower tone control will still be for the middle pickup AND for the bridge pickup too.

Thank you!

..but my tone controls aren't working regardless of which pickup is selected via the 5-way switch. The guitar is wired EXACTLY like the wiring diagram indicates...with the optional jumper. What could be the problem?

We'd need to see a picture or we could go on guessing for days.
