I bought my Standard Strat (USA) back in the '80's when Fender tried to save $$ by using only one tone control and putting the output jack on the pickguard where the second tone control should have gone. I would like to rewire my Strat, add the second tone control and carve a hole to add a traditional Strat jackplate. Has anyone tried this? My Strat is by no means a vintage instrument but I am seriously considering this mod. Any suggestions are welcome.

Personally, I wouldn't mod it. Just get another git...

I completely rewired mine - new pups and changed the controls - no drilling/carving was required though. I also added more shielding - completely got rid of unwanted buzzing.

If you're careful, putting in the new hole shouldn't be too bad.
