Finished!

I did the SSS to HSS conversion this morning and I have to say I'm really happy with how it sounds. I never used the bridge pickup - just didn't like the tone - so it's nice to have some balls in position 1, yet with the flip of the switch I'm back in Strat territory.

The Tone Zone sounds great and not dark at all, and I still have that nice quack in position 2. I used Fender's MIM Fat Strat schematic which is all 250K pots and no tone control for the humbucker. This splits the coils so in position 2 the humbucker coil near the middle pickup is active.

All in all I'm pleased with the result and don't see myself changing back (any time soon at least).

Yes, that's the best way, I think. Well done - glad you're pleased with it!

Cheers - Peter.
