I'm getting close to a good balance - no real harshness.
(EDIT) Actually, the bridge pickup is a little stringy and bright in comparison to the other 2. Its behaving like a standard wired Strat - where there's no tone control on the bridge pickup. That's the intention, I'm sure. I can get on with it, but I'm not one to leave well enough alone.
I think I have a fix for that. I'll probably wire the HF tilt to the unused pole on the switch - 2.4K on the bridge and use another 2.4K resistor between the bridge position and the other 4 positions. Should work with a 2 pole switch too, but you would need all of your connections (tone and volume on one pole) on one side and use the other side to vary the HF tilt.
I'm pretty stoked about the way this turned out.
Anyway, here's a sorry pic of the victim...

Fender Japan made a fine Strat - This one's only real sin is the poly finish. Neck is pretty chunky for a 60s style Strat.
