I don't think I have down a poll before here, so lets give it a go.
1st, I have a Warmoth body that I am building that I will call Yellow build.
Here's the body.
Its a chambered mahogany body with a maple cap. Its routed for HB pups and a Wilkinson trem. The neck most likely will be a bubinga with a madagascar ebony board. hardware will be chrome.
2. I have my Godin Flat Five X. It has the factory HB pups and piezo.
Looking for pups for both. The Godin HBs sound good, but I already have the std PAF type sound covered with my LP.
I have a S/S/S Warmoth Strat so that is covered. I have a Warmoth Tele type build in progress as well. It's bridge pup can do both a P90 and a normal Tele, so Tele sounds are covered. Then I have the Doozy which has a P90 and a HB in it.
Originally I was thinking SD PRails for Yellow build as well as a piezo, but that I have that pretty much already within my other guitars.
So here is my thought, there are 3 pup types I do not have: Filtertron (TV Jones), Fender WRHB and Rick Toasters.
I already have an eye on the Doozy Rebound which has Toaster pups.

So that leaves the Filtetrons and WRHBs.
For Filtertrons I am looking at TV Jones Classic/Classic+.
For WRHB, I am looking at Curtis Novak Gibson sized WRHBs.
So the Q is which goes into which guitar?
I am leaning towards:
TV Jones Classic/Classic plus in Yellow build. That puts it close to a Gretsch Duo Jet, which also has a chambered hog body. The Classic+ could be split, but the Classic really shouldn't be. That is fine with me and the 3 way pup selector it is routed for. Though I could go for the 6 way freeway switch.
Novak WRHB into the Godin. Already talked to Curtis and this WRHB can be split and splits well. That works good with the 5 way switch in it. Actually position 3 I could wire with just the 2 inner coils of the pups and maybe get some strat like quack out of it. The reason is the 24 fret neck on it places the neck pup closer to the bridge. In fact the spacing between the inner coils is only ever so slightly more than the spacing between either the neck or bridge pup and the middle pup on a strat.
Though I could do
Godin with WRHB: Pos 1 = neck HB, Pos 2 = neck SC and Bridge SC, Pos 3 = neck HB and bridge HB, Pos 4 = bridge SC, Pos 5 = bridge HB
Yellow build with TV Jones and freeway switch: Pos 1 = neck HB, Pos 2 = neck HB and bridge HB, Pos 3 = bridge HB , Pos 4 = neck SC, Pos 5 = inner coil SCs of neck and bridge, Pos 6 = bridge SC
So there are my thoughts. What say you and vote away!
