  1. Is position 2 and 4 series or parallel in stock strat wiring? Which one is thicker, parallel right?
  2. I had this idea to have a sort of blend pot to go between the three (single coil) pickups in a strat, but then I read this... http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.php?showtopic=37267 ...And decided against it. THEN, I had a different idea, which seems much more doable if the parts necessary actually exist. My idea would be to use a 3 way toggle switch for a single blend control pot. The switch would select 3 different combinations of PUs: neck+middle, bridge+middle and bridge+neck, so the blend pot would only blend two pickups at a time. Keep in mind here that I don't know a whole lot about electronics. So if the switch is selected as bridge and neck, the blend pots two extreme ends correspond to these two pickups, and now you can select any of the possible combinations of these two pickups. The three way toggle (on-on-on) could even be positioned at the same angle as the regular 5-way blade switch in its place. Is there a way to evenly blend between two pickups? Maybe the pot could even have a center detent. Is there a pot in existence with enough lugs for this kind of wiring?
  3. Is making a thin-carved top as simple as taking a flat-top (1 3/4") and doing the carve top out of that? Would that hurt the guitars structural stability in anyway? Is there any reason not to do this? My reasoning is simply for looks, I think it looks a lot cooler than a full on thick Les Paul double cut body; too boxy, chunky, heavy.
