Strat Controls?

[EKO]

Strats have three pickups, and two tone controls. How does that work?!

I know the volume is master, but i was wondering which pickups go with which tone controls.

Im sure someone will know the answer, im more of a gibson man!

the top is neck tone, and the bottom is middle tone. if you have bridge and middle selected, the middle tone will also affect the bridge, and for neck and middle, which ever one is lower will be the tone control.

right ok... not quite as simple as i hoped!

so what if just the bridge is selected?

Neither of the tone controls effect it. Which is why some people (myself included) move the second tone control from the middle pup to the bridge pup.

wow. i never would've thought they were that useless.

thanks for the help anyway.

Im working on a Mandolin Guitar doubleneck.

Im gonna take strat electronics and put the neck pickup on the mandolin and the middle shall become the neck for the guitar.

So in this way the strat tone setup may become handy!
