## Specific to this wiring

- Two-tone shared-cap jumper matches three-SCH two-tone sibling; outer pickups are stack stand-ins.

## What each position does

- Bridge: Bridge stack (stand-in) (both coils). Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board.
- Bridge + middle: Middle Strat stack (stand-in) (both coils) and Bridge stack (stand-in) (both coils) in parallel. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board.
- Middle: Middle Strat stack (stand-in) (both coils). Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board.
- Middle + neck: Neck stack (stand-in) (both coils) and Middle Strat stack (stand-in) (both coils) in parallel. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board.
- Neck: Neck stack (stand-in) (both coils). Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board.

- Shared-cap two-tone Strat wiring; toneReachesSignal may fail.
