Hello!!! I just got a Fender Stratocaste MIJ and I want to know about the tone pot controls!!! The middle tone control which pickups does he interact with and which the bottom tone control on a regular Strat???

Thanks in advance!!!

Welcome to the Forum.

Normally the middle control is for the tone on the neck pickup, and the bottom one is for the middle pickup.

I didn't Lose my mind, I traded it for this guitar.

And what about the bridge pickup???

Thank you!!!

The bridge pickup can be added into the current wiring by using a short jumper wire between 2 of the lugs on the switch. You can either have the neck/bridge on one tone control or bridge/middle on the same tone control.

Thank you very much!!!

One last thing!!! Could you show me where to find a diagramme, showing the wiring of a Stratocaster of what you just said with the jumper on it????

This is very simple. On the 5 way switch there are 2 rows of 4 lugs. On one side the wires come into the from the pickups. On the other side they go out to the tone controls. There is one empty lug. That is the lug for the bridge pickup. We will call that lug 1. If you run a short jumper from lug 1 to lug 2 the bridge and middle pickups will share a tone control. If you run a short jumper from lug 1 to lug 3 the bridge and neck pickups will share a tone control.
I recommend running a short jumper from lug 1 to lug 3.
