hi everyone. i have an American Fender Stratocaster left handed.

some years ago ( 3 or 4 ) i replaced the bridge pick up with a Fender red Lace Sensor in the bridge.

i replaced the pick up without any other mods. it's working good. never had a problem.

i remember the tone was active on the bridge pick up position too.

the day before i opened the pickguard to make a better solderig job.

after i finished the job i closed everything but now the bridge pick up tone control isn't active anymore!!!

why?? what happened???

i'm so confused.

my luthier said the american strstocaster have no tone on the bridge position and this is normal.

but i'm totally sure mine was active till the day before.

this with the lace sensor pick up - now - and with the stock one - years ago -.

what the problem could be?

thanx in advance.

If it was working you might have broken a wire or when you re-soldered you might have got a cold solder. Go back in and check.

hi, my guitar is a Fender American Standard Stratocaster Left Handed, model code 7422 700

(on the inside of the pick guard there's a sticker that say 0048702-700)

i'm 100% sure the tone was active on the bridge.

i cleaned and did again the soldering more than a time but seem nothing changes...everything's ok but the tone2 on the bridge doesnt' work.
selecting other positions with the 5way switch, tone2 work as well.

:(

that's strange because i didn't apply any crossing or mods on the wiring lines..

the picture was taken yesterday, today's soldering was better, cleaner and shining.
