I have a Strat and Tele that I adore very much. I never use the Strat's middle pickup but the middle Tele position is basically perfection.
What are the cleanest options to mod the strat to get neck & bridge sound? I can think of either a superswitch, or a push/push pot to add neck or bridge to anything else in parallel. Is there anything else? I guess I could swap to a 3-way and put the middle pickup on a push/push pot and/or blender like the Brent Mason Tele wiring.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
[also I'm running a book on who will be the first to say "just play your Tele"...?]

EDIT: Found it...
I do need to check if a superswitch will actually fit as it's a Danocaster so I assume it's very vintage - whatever's under there I'm not routing it!
I don't particularly care about noise cancelling - it's a Strat after all
It doesn't help that I want this for Steve Cropper-isms and all the youtube videos of similar mods play boring rock stuff that mean you can't always hear the pickups properly.
However, I think what you want is the Gilmour mod: https://sixstringsupplies.co.uk/pages/gilmour-strat-wiring-mod

I've got one SSS guitar with an S1 switch that swaps neck and middle for neck and bridge and middle for all three. I never use the latter and only occasionally the neck and bridge unless I've got some modulation going.
I only really use middle by itself for slide, where it works well.

I'm not sure you need them. I once rewired a Squier Strat with a blender pot using all the same wiring and pots that were already there.
