I'm thinking about adding a switch for activating the neck pick-up in the other positions but not sure yet. anyone got any suggestions for modifications or done any cool mods their selves?
theres a few websites out there with a lot of stuff, for example the muse guitar mod kinda stuff, i will see if i can find them and give them to you.

one of the most underrated thing that can be done to a strat is replace the 250k standard pots with 500k
actually makes a hell of a difference to the output and tone.
i put a coil split in one of my strats a while back that i love and a mid boost but thats about it. i tend to leave my guitars as they are apart from pickups in some of them, and get stuck in about the pedals and amp side of things.

saying that i have a strat that i have lasers and Leds in controlled by switches. really cool but the battery lasts about 3 to 4 hours!!
