Right so here's the idea. Three way toggle switch down at the bottom. Three mini DPDT slide switches up top for series/parallel, phase, and strangle.

No Jaguar plate, no onboard electronics. Not gonna try to do a custom pickguard shape. I'm reining things back a bit.

Bronco knobs. Cream tuners, eventually.

The pickups aren't quite that huge. They're big, but not that big. Close enough.

1ply white or white/black/white for the pickguard. Not 100% sure.

You will WILL hit the mini switches if you put them there, especially with that orientation. I'd suggest push-pull pots instead and a mini-switch down by the controls.

It's all about the way you play. I would NEVER hit them there because I strum guitar right next to the bridge . . .


if you play over the neck; forget about it.
