First off I just want to say that I hope all you Warmoth Faithful out there passed the holidays well & celebrate New Years safely next week.
Well, I'm typing up the last details on my Excel blueprint of my next Warmoth ax which will be a 25 1/2 scale hollow Les Paul (AAAAA Quilt Maple on Mahogany body/ Ebony on Mahogany neck w/a Quilt Maple veneer, and Rio Grande pickups). This will be my first Les Paul ever. I'd always thought they were alright but never liked the size & weight of 'em and the configuration of the controls, never liked that PU selector up high. I've also never liked tone controls on any guitar, I want as much output as possible.
So on this Les Paul I'm going to have 2 volume controls in their stock positions, and the pickup selector in place of the neck pickup's tone control. However, I don't know what to do with the empty space where the bridge's tone control would be. I can already see a DPDT switch there, but I don't know what its purpose should be. So what should I do with that empty space? Coil tap? Ser/Para? Ser/Tap/Para? Any other ideas?
(Sidenote: please, please don't suggest anything that would include active electronics. I know other people use active pickups & electronics with great results, more 9 volt power to them, but it's not for me.)
