Hi all,

Can anyone please explain the differences in the switches and pots you find on different models of the standard strat? I was looking on Ebay, and there's different sets available, with different ratings for the pots (IE: 250k, 500k, etc). As I understand it, 500s would make the high end of the tone range 'higher'?

Anyway, is there someplace to look up this type of info? I have a '95 strat, and just bought some Texas Specials for it, and I was wondering if I should be upgrading the pots and switch as well. Yes, taking off the pickguard and looking around the solder for info would help, and no, I haven't done it yet! That still doesn't tell me if there's a source for this info generally.

What's the diff between the MIM set ups and the US models? Like say, what's the difference between the pots on a US American Standard and a '07 SRV Artist Series?

Any help is appreciated!

Just Google stratocaster mods. There's a wealth of info out there on hundred of different modifications people have done on their stratocasters.
