That guitar is made to quickly swap out pickups from the rear of the body - - see a picture of another one like it above. The back of the guitar has cut outs that let you take the pick-ups out through the back. Not sure how they connect to the wiring, but I'm sure Orpheo will clear that up.

ok, i saw that picture with the covers on the back.
there was a feature is (bass player i think) a few years ago where they routed a jazz bass so that the pickups would slide in from the side.
they were testing out like 30 different pickups that were on the market.
i dont think that would work all that well for long term usage.
I mainly love plain wood tops with natural finishes.. Willy's Swamp ash strat is defenitely one of my favorites!
Also like the tobacco burst on my VIP a lot!
I don't usually get as excited over flame/quilted maple tops as most people do.. but there are some exceptions..
like this "ebony stain" that Fender did on some of their Heartfields:
oh, and when I first saw my birdseye maple strat with trans brown finish in the showcase, I was completely in love!

the pickups are seated in a big, big, wooden block (mahogany), and they go in the guitar by the back. they fit very snugg in the guitar. the current of the pickups run through quick connectors. I can switch pickups within a minute. when I have the humbuckers in the guitar, it looks just like a normal custom, but with p90's or minihumbuckers, you see that strip of mahogany. thats a small price I've got to pay for having the real p90 tone or the real minihumbucker tone. I can even have real strat-pickups or a slanted telecaster pickup in the guitar, if I wanted to. (or filtertrons, or whatever kind of pickup).
what you see on the back is not a cover. its just the back of the block of wood. And yes, these are dealer-guitars. not for selling to the public (but my dealer sold them anyway
big friends with Gibson. next year, he''s gonna have a special series: 5 year anniversary of Max Guitarstore, 50 year anniversary of the les paul standard flametop burst. 5 guitars, each in a series of 25 pieces each. maybe even, he'll use one of my own warmoths as a base for a special series, the 'customer custom-series').
