I think this is probably it for me, I play with a lot of palm muting and a lightish touch. This also why I replace the traditional pressed steel bridge pieces with the much smoother and kinder Highwood ones.

This is close to perfect...
The only problem with the single tone control is that you don't get the nice effect where the neck/middle sound is automatically softened compared to the bridge/middle by having both tone pots in the circuit.

I am making a drop top strat at the moment and can put the controls wherever I want. I have been looking for a wiring diagram for a volume and 1 master tone controls. The guitar is going to be HSS with 500k pots and coil split on the humbucker. Might someone be able to help? Thanks.

The proximity of the telecaster pickup switch and volume knob however...
I've never really had a problem with the knobs, but I did used to hit the switch sometimes and wonder why it sounded weird.
Got used to it pretty quickly though and wouldn't change it now.
The bridge pickup, without tone control, is spot on too.
Nearly - it's an RS Standard, an earlier model with the same body shape. The Wildcat had the volume control in a worse place even than the Strat, further forward so it's directly below the pickup.
One of those was my first electric guitar - I had no idea at the time it was so perfect, but when I later played a Fender Strat for the first time the control layout seemed much more awkward. (That one is a replacement for my original, which I got about ten years ago.)
