Try this one:

first tone control either wire to all pickups or middle and neck (instead of 1 tone control to each how often do you use that?) now the second tone control remove the capacitor (if it has one) and now wire it between the neck and bridge pickup.

What this does is the same as a push pull pot at full volume, but it also gives you the option of rolling in a little neck if you want to warm up the bridge pickup, or alternatively rolling in a little bridge to add a bit of twang to the neck.

You may want to increase the value of the pot but it's not essential by any means

It's also easier to use than a push pull switch

I've done this to all my Strats and Burns for years

I do it this way, but also use the other pole of the switch to bypass the neck pickup terminal on the selector; that way you switch the bridge and neck together. So in either of the two end selector positions, operating the switch gives neck and bridge together, in any of the other positions it gives all three.
