Hey Folks. I'm thinking of setting up a Strat with 2 humbuckers (not HSH). I have a couple of darkish custom made A5 PUs that should work well in the brighter, longer scale guitar that a Strat is. My question is more about how to wire it up. My thought at this point is to go Vol, Vol, Tone. Neck volume has no tone control, and the bridge gets the tone control. My fav thing on my other humbucker guitars is that middle position and being able to use volumes to blend the PUs. Plus, I pretty much always have the tone rolled 1/2 way down on the bridge. Anyways, wondering if anyone has done this, or any other interesting variation...

When I had a strat (years ago) I put 2 humbucker sized p-90's in it. (in a specially cut pickguard) I had a 3-way switch with vol, tone, tone. I like just 1 MV volume. I do the same with my 2 PRS's. I have mv, tone, tone, and leave the 4th knob unhooked.

The first guitar I ever modified was a Stratocaster that I installed two humbuckers in. It originally had a volume/volume/master tone setup but I changed it eventually to only a tone on the bridge pickup. Like you it made more sense to me. Likewise, my Tele I have now that has humbuckers in it has a standard Tele type 2-knob set-up but the tone control is only on the bridge pickup. And as you probably know, you are going to want 500K volume pots.
