No, but like @cuthbert / @TBurst Std they have their own thing going on that is much more single coil in character than your typical PAF.

Ah, the old “I prefer the sound of single coils and the look of humbuckers”. Totally get it. Might I suggest classic Firebird pickups, Fralin Big Singles or Unbuckers, Lollar Novel Ts/The Birds, or similar humbucker sized single coil (or single coil voiced) pickups? I recently put a pair of...

Never played them but that’s the word on the street. Who are your tone influences? How’d you end up on P-Rails in the first place? Sheer versatility? I’ve chased that before and I have to say I’m always left wanting and always go back to a guitar with a few great sounds on it - less switches...

It’s a LOT of guitar. And I doubt it would make many sounds *I* would enjoy, but I see where you’re coming from. Have you built a partscaster before? This is going to be a headache and a half. Having said that, if you are Steve Morse incarnate, this seems like a great build :)

IIRC the hole spacing is the same but the location is slightly different from the top rout (I tried putting a pickguard over a rear rout body from the showcase and it was a no go)

I’m not saying don’t do it I’m just saying put a cloth over your head to hide your sins from Saint Leo

Sir that is extra heretical

A JM without a JM trem?? Heresy.

TED used to be great… then came TEDx and the curation and content went downhill fast.

…why did you censor Gibson? 🤨 OP - totally doable but you’ll need a superswitch. Wire the output of lug one from the tone control for the bridge to a common lug, then wire the signal output (vol pot middle lug) on the volume to all positions you want 50s wiring on. Easier to do with just a...

How deep did ya go? It’s always shocking how little weight comes out when you hog out a small cavity.

Dinkycaster feels old school, very classic Fender. If it could fit a Mustang control plate with a tort guard over Sherwood green…. Mmmm.

Good call! Although to be a totally unnecessary pedant, *all* things are connected to the hot of the jack ;) V/V/T makes more sense to me than V/T/T for sure.

Yep, that’s just a modified Tele wiring with the tone control moved to the middle lug of the vol pot instead of the input lug as @stratamania suggested. Note that the pickups are wired to the commons - the red terminals in your diagrams.

Neither of these will work, the first one for the reason @stratamania said, the second because you’ve tied the two hot leads of the pickups together. Do you absolutely need two tone pots AND 50s wiring? This would be very simple without 50s wiring, or if you re-used a tone pot for something...
