Hi there ¡ I got a Deluxe Players Strat, the one with golden HW, and Vintage Noiseless pups. I would like to have a tone for the bridge pickup, which is not a factory standard setting. Since this guitar came with a switch for the 7 positions, I was looking for that diagram, which is kind of standard. But the real diagram from Fender differs a lot, and I am very confused on how may I jumper whatever it takes to have one of the tone pots working on my bridge pickup... Please, any help? Thanks and regards,
Martin

W/o knowing the 7 position switch, the easiest guess on my part would be a 1-2 inch jump wire added to the switch. Trace the 2nd tone knob wire to the switch, solder one end of the jump wire to that lug and the other end to the next/middle lug on the same side of the switch. This will make the 2nd tone knob active with the middle and bridge pickup.

It sounds like the Deluxe Player Strat, the one with a standard 5 way and a separate bypass switch a la Gilmour.
The original diagram is here: https://p4.zdassets.com/hc/theme_assets ... A_SISD.pdf
There is no bridge tone control.

The 2016 Deluxe Strat is similar but with bridge tone control which is where things get difficult. The 2016 version also used a 5 way + bypass with bridge tone control BUT this has since been replaced with superswitch + bypass according to the latest service diagram. https://www.fmicassets.com/Damroot/Orig ... 1-2018.pdf

The original 2016 Deluxe diagram is here: https://www.fmicassets.com/Damroot/Orig ... 5-2016.PDF
