Got this VIP body early this year after some serious deliberation. It was an HxH configuration and I had Warmoth route for a middle singlecoil. I love the HSH configuration but hadn’t at all considered that it wasn’t routed for a blade switch! Whoops :doh: it’s routed for volume, tone, and a 3 way toggle switch.
My first thought was that I’d use a 5 way rotary switch for bridge, bridge and middle, middle, middle and neck, neck. Is this possible? I’m having a hell of a time finding an answer and even more trouble finding a rotary diagram as a switch instead of being used as a tone alternative. Then I thought maybe I could just wire a three way toggle for the two humbuckers and wire the single to its own volume. I’d be losing a tone control that way, but then I could have whatever pickups on whenever I wanted. I’m not a big fan of splitting humbuckers, so I’m not going to bother with any pickup splitting. I’ve even considered trying concentric pots to give me volume and tone, but not sure I love the look of them.
So, UW, what would you do with this body? Thanks!
