    Good question. i have upgraded to Iron Gear pickups. It's a T set with an S style middle. I then really splashed out big time and ordered the electronics from 920D Custom (12 months ago or so now when the $ was better) in the States. I got a James Burton set-up with the S1 switch and a 5-way. It's more T than S but you get the middle pickup on its own and some series and parallel settings in there as well. Don't ask me how it sounds as I don't know yet, but I am getting excited about it.

    Did I miss it?
    I went looking to see what you used to get the blue colour & can’t see it.
    What brand?
    Is it a wipe / brush on or a spray?

    That sounds kind of interesting. I had to go searching online to see what that wiring setup meant. So basically a normal Strat pickup selection but the push button switches between parallel and series in the 2 and 4 positions.
    Kind of curious though, using a tele pickup set with a Strat middle, won't that mean that you won't have hum cancelling in the 4 position? And I guess you can't select the bridge plus neck like a normal tele.
    You know if it were me with those pickups I think I'd wire the neck and middle in opposite positions so that position 2 and 4 are combinations with the neck rather than with the middle.
    Or with the S1 you could switch between Strat wiring and Tele writing with maybe the additional 2 and 4 positions when in Tele being for some sort of series wiring (like 4 way Tele wiring). Think you might need a 5 way super switch to do all that though.

    Guess it depends on what tone you're going for.
