Hey Statocats, is there and does anyone have any experience with or know of or can there be retrofitted without cutting etc...

...a 7-way selector which would give bridge-neck and all-three pup combos?

Huh?

There really isn't one, per se or the market would be proliferated with them. Your best bet is to make one of your tone pots a blend pot (using a no-load pot) and making the other tone pot a master tone. You will be able to get all the pickup combinations a Strat has to offer and you'll be able to control the tone of each pickup and/or combination of pickups as well. There is no cutting, hacking, etc. involved, your Strat will continue to look totally stock. Of note is the fact that if for some reason you change your mind, this mod is totally reversible.

You could also add a toggle like the Gilmour Strat has that would allow you to add the neck pickup to your bridge or bridge/middle setting.

Yeah, I just put in a mini-toggle and wired it to the bridge pickup, and it works great. Although I never use all 3 pups at once, I do use the bridge/neck, it just adds some cut to the neck position.
