I work in a music store in which I saw a MIM Deluxe Series strat that had a dummy pickup wired into the tone circuit under the pickguard. There also was a circuit board set into a routed cavity under the pickguard, as well as a battery compartment routed in the back. Everything I saw about such a guitar indicated that there was a switch built in to the system, likely to engage or disengage the pre amp. This guitar had no such swith, but the tone knob had a center detente, and the effect it had on the tone was massive. It sucked all the highs out of it. Any body have any ideas ? Thanks !

Sounds like Fender's Deluxe Powerhouse Strat, a poor-man's version of the MIA Clapton signature model. The onboard pre-amp offers a 12 dB boost with the gain controlled by the upper tone control (the lower knob is a master tone control for all three pickups).
