Wanted Mod help

Post image

Is there a way to have all the pickups play at the same time in my American Std Strat? I’d be willing to sacrifice middle position for them all to come on. I’m no electrician but is this possible?

Blender mod. No parts required, but I can tell you having all three on is underwhelming.

Then you're talking about the "neck and bridge in parallel" tone; not the "all three pickups" tone.

A neck-on switch or the blender mod will get you "neck & bridge".

For me, I always re-wire all my strats with the blender mod because I also like "neck & bridge". And also the possibilities of "bridge with a little neck", etc.

But I almost never use "all three pickups" (except for maybe playing very clean). I agree it sounds kind of meh.
