I would surmise the neck geometries would have prevented you from making them a Number 1, or doing so without your now widened and 24.5 neck dimension preferences of a neck swap.

I tend to use 0.01uf tone capacitors exclusively (in everything unless the custome specifies a different value) as they yield 360° of usable tone knob range. I also wire the bridge in all Strats to enable the bridge tone contol.
On stock Strats, I frequently place a 220k resistor on the bridge pickup hot lead to trim the sharp edge.

OUR own IVAN H replied in this forum about the Delta Circuit
My 2012 select Strat has the delta tone system as Fender stock. The "middle" pickups tone pot is a "no load" type with the detent at 10 where it unloads. The bridge pickup is also wired to it, giving the bridge, 2 position & middle all the option of with or without tone control. I can definitely hear the pot unload in the three positions. I'll never have a Strat without the delta system after trying it. The OP's guitar is definitely not stock delta with a push/pull pot. Cheers
Edit; & yes, the bridge pickup is slightly hotter than normal. Cheers
How do I use Delta Tone?
I just got a 09 American Strat with Delta Tone. I looked it up and it says the Bridge tone has a detent at 10 that runs the pickup right to the output but mine has a push-pull option. When the bridge tone knob is pulled out it changes the tone and "growl" of the bridge and middle pickups but you...www.strat-talk.com
Personally, I love the Delta Tone circuit. I never put the tone pot into the no-load position, but the main thing I like is that there is some tone control over the bridge pickup.
If I ever bought a Strat without the Delta Tone, I’d mod it to have one.

The 1-3/4" x 1.00" thick Warmoth neck was the single-most endearing feature on my YelloStrat. Holding open chords is effortless.It's 25.5" scale...by the way.
My 2021 Gibson Les Paul 50's Standard is a close second at 1.695" neck width...

Smitty, Can a Humbucker Strat get a Delta circuit?
OP
Yes.
The Fender Delta Tone System, Part 1
This month, we’ll begin a two-part series on Fender’s Delta Tone system, which includes so-called “no-load” pots.

Also Smitty, when I look to get a Delta, can you put it in my Strat for me? I have an HSS Starcaster withthe skinny neck.
Are you buying a pre-made harness?
OP
YelloStrat here....

That's Cheating. But maybe.
Heck, I have to research all that is needed first. I may decide it is too big a deal or not worth it etc.
OP
Easy. I can get you a diagram if you need one. HH or HSS???

I forgot about the weight preference. I'm wondering what makes the Fillmore 1x12 combo 16 lbs lighter than the Badlander 1x12 combo...
