Ok...So I took the Strat in yesterday and left it for the tech to have a look at. He called Fender and had the wiring diagram sent to him and described the problem. The guy at Fender said it sounded like the pre-amp board may have gone bad, but suggested that he first check all of the connections. Got a call from him today saying that it was fixed and I could come pick it up. Turns out that the lug on the volume pot/S-1 switch that connects to the jack was bent out a bit, and a stray piece of solder was making intermittent contact with one of the connections on the pre-amp board causing the entire tone circuit and output to ground out. He adjusted the lug a bit and cleaned up the solder and it is good as new now. I looked at the connections but did not see that before I took it in. I can do some basic set up on the guitar, but when it comes to digging in to the electronics, I guess there is a reason he fixes guitars for a living, and I bake cakes....LOL.
