I've done similar things on both so I'll keep this brief ... kind of lockdown projects ...
I had a Squier strat for my 16th birthday and decided to update it this year ...
I got a new neck, some nice 1954 tribute pickups and did some wiring acrobatics on it
A friend is a Jaguar man and I was always fascinated with how the pickups sounded
on that when the main difference between that and my strat seemed to
be how far apart they were ... I've also been interested in different wirings and always
been piqued that neck and bridge are not an accessible combination in standard wiring ...
I never ever use position 2 in standard strat wiring (neck and middle) and detest the
sound of 4 (middle and bridge), so why not take them out of the equation and include
neck and bridge as well?
I decided to put a 3 way switch in this and wire it up so it would be
1) neck and bridge
2) middle
3) bridge
I decided to put a pull switch in so I could get just neck if I wanted to ...
you get a very Jaguary / Telecastery sound with N&B together :)
I also worked on a "Squier series" strat (badged as Fender) to do the same thing ...
I put some Tone-rider pickups in for vintage sound and did the 3-way switch thing
again, this time putting in another switch to add middle wherever you wanted,
just to see if I could do it really ...
Both are really fantastic and far more usable for me personally than they would be with
stock wiring :)
