Strat players, looking for some views.
I got a Strat about 6 years ago, as far as the controls your standard 1 volume 2 tones. The tone control for the bridge had (still has) a no-load pot. Personally not crazy about this, especially on the bridge position the brightest part of the guitar for pickups.
The solution was simple enough, replace the pot. But instead did something a little different, I made the no-load and turned it into a blender control (between the neck and bridge pickups:works great BTW!) and the other tone control became a master for the whole guitar.
But for some reason I get it in head from time to time to just go back to standard wiring and get rid of the no-load pot. Almost like I feel I'm missing something (what that something is I have no idea).
BTW, happy with the guitar and its sound, I think just in tinkering mode and looking for something to change or screw up depending how you look at it.
Just curious have some of you guys changed the wiring, and in the long run change it back??
