Fender created the Big Apple Strat in the 1990s to marry some of the most popular Strat tones (positions 2/4) with the humbucker tones of the guitars made by their competitors (positions 1/3/5):
5: Neck HB
4: Neck SC
3: Neck HB + Bridge HB
2: Neck SC + Bridge SC
1: Bridge HB
Our HH1 scheme employs Big Apple wiring, but our second position uses one screw coil and one slug coil from the pickups to retain hum-canceling. We use a 500k volume pot since this is the value most humbuckers are voiced with, but we've added functionality that drops the pot's value to 250k in the 2/4 positions, so the “Fender” positions will sound most convincing.
We've left the tone-control wiring alone, using Fender's configuration: a tone control for the 1-position (bridge pickup), and the other tone control for the other four switch positions.
