Ultimate Strats
1 DAN ARMSTRONG WIRING
If you need a ‘Swiss Army knife’ guitar, but you don’t want to rout your Strat for humbuckers or drill holes in your pickguard, check out Dan Armstrong’s wiring mod.

In short, with the control at 10, you have five regular SSS combinations. Set to 1, you get a HSH configuration, with the neck and bridge pickups operating in series with the middle pickup for pseudo humbucker tones.

If you crave a bit more beef and output from your bridge pickup, try installing a steel inductance
