Series parallel switching of Strat pickups
The standard mode of the three Strat pickups is that they are parallel, in switch position 2 and 4 the output is effectively parallel for resp. neck/mid and mid/bridge. This mod creates an additional option where the mid and bridge pickups are switched in series - they form as it were one big, hot pickup with combined impedance (the sum) of these pups. The result is a sound that is definitely not like the bridge pup, and also not like the neck or mid pups, it is louder and somewhat warmer. Use is made of a DPDT switch, which can replace one of the pots and thus would require no modification to your pickguard. In the clip i have not done that as i am going to do a large number of mods, each requiring a different setup. Although there is a clear difference in sound, its not something i would install permanently it remains a typical single coil sound, maybe a bit hotter but thats it.
