I’ve got a Cyclone II with the 3 switch setup, and I agree it can be a little awkward. I sort of got used to it, I guess. This version moves it to upper bout so it’s a little closer to my aging eyes and slightly easier to see!

Thanks! That’s a really practical idea. I’ll noodle on that a bit.

Thanks for the feedback! Would a Kinman-style treble-bleed be another way to address the loss of treble issue in my setup? I realize this is starting to look a little “mad-sciencey” but sometimes the chaos is part of the fun!

I tell my wife the same thing.

I thought I read somewhere that treble loss only happens if pots are wired in parallel to the pickups themselves. I thought this design would isolate the pots after the switches and keep them from parallel. Wiring is so confusing!

That’s Gibson-style, right? I was thinking that would break the independent volume control with parallel blending, which I was hoping to go with. I plan to use the kill switch more as a stutter switch. Easier than trying to rapidly flip all three on and off.

I did a pre-wired assembly for my first build so I've never laid out my own wiring before. That was a fun build, but the guitar I'm building out now is a little more bespoke. Does this diagram look correct? Three pickups (I guess they're all technically humbuckers since the middle p90 is...

A friend has one of these ‘51 style bridge covers in a drawer and I’d like to know what bridges anyone can confirm fit underneath it, aside from the Vintage style Fender. He’s willing to trade it for some parts I’m getting rid of. I’d like to incorporate it into my next build. Thanks!

What do you know about the Lollar WRHB? I haven’t installed it yet, but it’s the one I bought.

If looks weren’t important most of us would have fewer guitars.

Novak doesn’t use Cunife, as I recall. Are you saying they sound more authentic than the current Fender Cunife?

Well, they’re bigger for one.

Really cool look!

I'm planning on full soapbar. Lollar 50's wind.

Looking at router templates for Thinlines on the internet, I'm guessing the issue is that these corners circled in red aren't in the Warmoth rout, which is why they require a pickguard and pickup rings won't work. If that's the case, I'm a little more comfortable upsizing from a humbucker rout...
