I'm sure ovation wouldn't mind if big W brought back the breadwinner. Problem is, not too many people know what that is anymore :(

Spud, you got me all jazzed to for a three coil!

But it looks cool, I bet a freeway switch would get some great combinations, what pup are you going to pair it with? I probably have seen them before, but never played one. Maybe put two in a guitar? Then you'd have 6 coils do stuff with. That would be nuts, if you had room, put a strat pup...

yeah, a buffer, or just a shammy cloth, though the buffer will be more efficient, with some meguire's scratch x. Wait unitl the poly has cured.

Never saw one before, is it the same size as a mini humbucker? Or is it that huge three coil thing? Mite has me thinking small but Mothabucker has me thinking big. If it's the huge three coil thing, which I'm guessing it is, how does it sound, like super beefy?

Interesting pots? There are different kinds, linear and audio taper, and then you can add things like a treble bleed for low volumes. Sustainiac? I know with pedals you can have pot that lights up. I don't know how, or if, they can used in a guitar. Probably need a battery.

When I install a neck, and we are talking just about installing, not fret dressing, adjusting the trussrod, installing tuners? If so, then you have everything you need. Except for the left handed smoke shifter which can found at Home Depot. (Just kidding on the last one!!! Welcome aboard!)

Ovation has a nice little our story page https://www.ovationguitars.com/en/our-story So does Fender https://www.fender.com/articles/behind-the-scenes/fender-through-the-years-a-timeline-of-music-and-instruments Gibson (though it only goes back to 2019) https://legacy.gibson.com/ GandL (though on...

One thing I like about PRS is that he's thought provoking. Maybe Warmoth could do something like this, a gentle interview with the people behind the neck, or body, or fretting, or wood maintenance or sourcing etc. Maybe some interviews with famous people who use warmoth products, I think I've...

There must be a jig for this. I found the people at Stew Mac to helpful with these things, though that was 15 years ago. Maybe a call to them?

Did you contact Warmoth about swatches?

I think other places to find info would be local newspapers, tv stations, and maybe trade magazines, like Music Trades, or guitar magazines? Maybe copies of lawsuits and cease and desist letters? It's a lot of work to search this stuff. I think you're going to need a helper. Maybe there's a...

Great .... how about some pics ... if no pics posted, in 24 hours, she's a bot.

Two sources of inspiration could be: The Fender Telecaster by AR Duchossoir Fender by Martin Kelly I know that Kelly relied on interviews and contributions by collectors, I think the thing to do would to be to start with interviews of everyone whoever worked at Warmoth, just get a cassette...
