Fat ‘50s 1/2 Blender Strat Wiring is a custom Stratocaster setup that blends vintage tone control with added versatility. It uses a 0.1µF capacitor and a ’50s-style layout where the middle knob controls neck tone and the bottom knob controls bridge tone. The bottom knob also acts as a blender in switch positions 1 and 2, allowing the neck pickup to be mixed in with the bridge or bridge+middle settings. Positions 3 through 5 remain standard.
