I dunno who it was who raised the neck Trilogy Suite on their strat, but flippin 'eck, I tried it on mine and it made a massive difference. Same volume as the bridge but ever so... dare I say warm? rich? Bleedin' marvelous anyway. Almost makes we want to keep my Strat. (Just swap the volume with one of the the tones and switch to a master tone...)
[On mine, the neck pickup was very low - only a couple of mm above the scratchplate, if that.]
