I installed a 5 way on my vintage strat reissue. It completely works fine, but i can only control the tone on the neck and middle pickup. Essentially the bridge pickup tone is stationary. How should i wire it so that i can control the tone on the bridge??
WWSD? What would stevie do?

If you wanted you could just switch the leads from the neck or middle and wire them the same way as the bridge, thus losing your neck/middle. On strat's I like to keep the middle all the way up anyway, so this is what I'd do. I beleive the Jimmy Vaughan Strat is set up this way.

normally strats are wired so you control the middle pick up. to change it, theres a modification you can do. you'll find it on www.guitarnuts.com ;)
