Very impressed for $169! Locking tuners! Neck and frets are great too. Only issue is controls. Top is volume and 2 tone pots operate the neck and middle pickup. No tone for the bridge.
How can I fix that? Solder some sort of jumper? I would even be willing to sacrifice the middle tone to add tone to the bridge. If I want the volume control on the bottom, I gather just a simple matter of moving the pots if the wires are long enough?
Thanks!

If you want the tone control to also work on the bridge, all you have to do is solder a jumper, same as all modern fenders. Look up a fender schematic. Such as this, the small green wire is what is added. https://www.fralinpickups.com/2020/01/0 ... mods-more/
You probably have a chinese switch so you should be able to find the diagram for that.

looks very nice.
Breja Toneworks has very good, and to the point, videos of many strat wiring mods including bridge tone jumper mod.
