Just so you will know, this guitar has dual controls. The two switches at the top control the bridge and neck pickups respectively. They are TPDT (on-off-on) and the pups are tapable. Either switch in the up position is dual coil (humB) and down is single coil. The knobs are (R2L) neck tone, bridge tone, blend, volume. The blend is a special pot that blends the two pups neck-to-bridge. Works very well tho when both are 50/50 the output is decreased - but I anticipated that.

    Hay that looks great how did you do the wiring on this one. Have tried the on/ off / on with humbuckes to get single setup but failed got a hint for a fellow 6 string builder?

    Thanks guys. It's also a rather large, tho thin box. I guess it just looks small.

    Oh and the pups I got off ebay called Lumbuckers. Note the tops of the pups are wood (Maple). Look for the seller 'GuitarHeads'. $40 for the set. They are N-I-C-E!
