this one is my J.J Cale-style Frankentele. the toggles on the upper bout switch the 2 and 4 PUs (the lipstick and the P90) on/off, so in conjunction with the 5-way pickup switch all combinations of two PUs and most if not all 3 PU combinations are available. the knob and mini-toggle control the bridge Wide-Range humbucker; the toggle switches single-coil/parallel/series. the pot with the Fender amp knob controls the volume of the neck PU; the regular Tele tone knob controls the volume of pickups 2 and 3. the regular Tele volume knob gets a stacked pot and acts as a master volume/tone control. the cat keeps me company.

For some reason, I'm always allured to the triple 'bucker setup.
This, but with a Jag switch plate instead of mini toggles for coil tapping.

Apparently I'm drawn to darker woods. Here are two that I came up with tonight. I enjoy the second a little more than the first.

The second one has stereo outputs, volume control for each pickup, switches to switch between neck and bridge etc

I'd kill you all for this guitar...

Master volume, on/off toggle for each pickup.

You'd kill us all for a fairly conventional guitar that you could easily make from a budget level gibson SG and some patience?
