Fourth Position Strat Tome

[Trussrod]

Love the neck pup tone on a strat (fifth position on the switch) and the tone produced by the neck and middle pup with the switch set at the fourth position. That fourth setting produces a crystalline, chorus-like sound. How are the neck and middle pups wired to get this tone--in series, parallel, out of phase, etc.?

Edit: I meant "tone"--lol...

They are wired in parallel.

I'd need more details to say anything else.

As said, they're simply in parallel in a stock Strat. If they were truly out of phase, they'd sound thin, hollow and nasal. The cool sound is simply a combination of the tone of the string collected from two separate points, and blended together.
