Looking good! What do you have those mini switches doing?

Looking good! What do you have those mini switches doing?

The mini switches allow the following selections...

1. single coil
2. both coils in series
3. both coils in parallel

for each pickup. There is a link to the wiring in the build thread about 1/2 way down the page.

That and the standard 3 way pickup selector makes for a fairly wide selection of sounds.
