Okay, I know these strats come with the Tex-Mex pickups and I've heard several people rave about the good tone, but I have a feeling that the wiring has a good deal to do with it. Apparently the bridge p'up is wired to the back tone control instead of the middle p'up, but what I'm not sure about is whether or not the back tone control has its own capacitor or does it share the one capacitor like a stock strat? I've always felt that strat bridge pickups needed the tone control the most, but I've never tried wiring one this way.
