    This blog post describes a Stratocaster pickup wiring modification that configures the pickups to be switched in series rather than parallel. A second switch is added to invert the middle pickup to make the tone thicker or thinner. The mod connects the tone control to the neck and middle pickups wired in series. Photos show the wiring diagram and installed switches on a Stratocaster guitar body.

    Stratocaster wire mod - in series pickups switch

    Looking at the picture below, the first switch (mod 1) configures the
    pickups in series:
    neck+middle (series)
    bridge+middle (series)
    Besides that, a second switch (mod 1b) inverts the middle pickup,
    making the sound thicker or thiner.

    The mod 1 switch also connects the tone control to the neck+middle
    "fake" humbucker.

    *All the pots are 500K, making a more open sound and helping the
    basswood body limited tone response.
