After I take care of the present task, fitting DiMarzios to my Washburn, this is the next project.
Just got the pickups I bought for my JV Strat Voodoocaster experiment. I picked up a set of Chubtone '67 reverse stagger p'ups. Perfect shape, looks like they were never installed except for the tiny bit of solder on the wire ends.

All I need now is the pickguard, and in they go! Gonna get a white reverse slant pickguard from Warmoth. I'll build that up and just swap it for the Tex-Mex setup I've got now.

Opinions on a wiring setup I've been thinking about. 300k vol, 250k no-load master tone, blender pot. Would you do it?

Here's what she looks like now.I don't know about that no-load tone pot. At the moment, I have a pair of APS-2's in my 77 ash strat with a LilPearly Gates at the bridge. I use 250k pots as master volume, neck tone, bridge tone, and leave the mid pickup without a tone control.

It is bordering in being painfuly bright, actually. The only way I use the mid pickup on this axe is in the 2 amp; 4 positions. Personally, I'd just stick to a normal 250K tone pot.

Benjy, that's how my JV is wired up now, neck and bridge tone controls, no middle tone. It sounds pretty good that way, I actually use the middle pickup by itself and it has a nice snap and openness to it that sounds good. I sometimes wish the bridge could get a little more open sounding like the middle. That's why I though of the no-load master tone. I could use, or not use, the tone control on any pickup then.
Maybe with the brighter, more vintage sounding Chubtones it might get a little too bright. The Tex-Mexes are a little overwound, but not quite as much as Texas Specials. Maybe they like the extra presence better than a vintage spec pickup.
