Here’s a suggested wiring diagram for a HS Strat.
I originally drew it up for Gabor from superfunawesimehappytime pedal show. He has a green Strat with a Mr Glyns Tui neck pickup and a Cloud Nine humbucker bridge pickup that he’s been using for YouTube pedal demos. Here’s the wiring diagram:

What it does
The format is:
1 Humbucker
2 Coil tap Humbucker
3 Humbucker and Neck
4 Coil tap Humbucker and Neck
5 Neck
The 470K Ohm resistor is there so that the humbucker ‘sees’ the volume pot as 500KOhm and the single coil ‘sees’ it as 250KOhm, clever eh.
You can, of course just wire it up like a Telecaster but I think this HS Strat Wiring has some great benefits.
Here is is in action:
