Wire it like Eric Johnson (which is how my Am. Standard is wired now) with one Tone control wired to the bridge, the other to the neck, and nothing to the middle. 'Only difference is I have "No-Load" Tone pots.

That really makes no sense. If amplifiers lacked high end, why would amyone want to roll off the highs on neck & middle positions which produce more low end than the bridge? I think it was just the style of music at the time that the cutting bridge position was popular.

Because 72 years ago, Leo Fender didn't know any better. My 1990 Fender American Standard Strat came from the factory with the middle Tone control wired also to the bridge pickup. The early Strats had 3-way selector switches (not 5), so you wouldn't have two tone controls in parallel like in...

1: The frets need to be level. 2: The neck relief needs to be properly adjusted. 3: The nut slots need to be filed to the proper depth (and width for string gauge). 4: String height needs to be set to a minimum height of 4/64" @ the 12th fret. If the problem persists after all those things are...

Does Ted live in a van down by the river?

It's not supposed to be wired like a mirror image. It's supposed to be wired to the correct terminals per the wiring diagram. Try not to over-think it.

I don't understand your wiring question. The wiring should be the same for right-handed and left-handed guitars.

Before I built my first Warmoth, I used Kisake to mock up my ideas.

First time I've ever heard of him. I agree about creating things.
