I have change the wiring with tone on bridge pickup and the problem is solved!!! Now there isn't a big boost on the high from middle to bridge pickups, the increase is more gentle. I don't think that the difference would be so big, Leo had a bad idea to disconnect the bridge pickup from tone pot!!  :lol:

I have also change the volume pot with the TVT CTS from Crazy Parts, with curve of 30%, and are very good!

Thanks for your suggestions!!

Glad you got it sorted.

Sometimes the tone pot makes a significant difference, sometimes it's only subtle. My experience is that the effect is greater on single coils.

That is great Marco. Funny, I was thinking about suggesting tone control for the bridge. I also have my Strats wired that way and I do sometimes take off a little top. I was going to do that when i recorded them for you but I assume now you don't need me to.

If for you isn't too difficult, I like to hear the sample!

Thanks ;)
