i figured it was more likely to get attention with that title.. maybe? sorry for the double posting though..

Anywho,

I've got the fender noiseless pickups, right?

And with them came the 3 pots, and 3 other components.. now, the diagram only says where to put one of them, but i have no idea where to put the other parts.. any ideas?

Here's the strat schematic I'm familiar with:

It's got 3 pots, 1 cap, and that's it. Did the pickups come with a schematic (or can you find one online)?

The other cap may just be in case you prefer a different cap value for your tone pot but I have no clue what the resistor could be for.

Is it a TBX tone control mod?

If so, you'll need a dual potentiometer. The wiring diagram you have is for a standard strat :thumb:

The extra components are included if you WANT to add that extra mod, not that you HAVE to have them in.
