And where might one get such a plate? (I'm guessing guitarfetish?)

Fuck me, I was thinking this exact same thing - yesterday I took the buzz-stop off and swapped the mustang bridge back to the original, but like you have turned my bridge pup off on quite a few occasions, so wondered about this plate.
Have you ordered one yet Mike? If not, can you get me one and I'll send you the cash?

A mod I'm sure you're already aware of, but why not just flip the switches so they're on in the down position instead of the up position? That way, you're only going to knock the pickups on not off. Plus I like how the three switches look.

Yeah, good idea But i really want the ease of switching pickups mid song too, is just a bit fiddly with the separate ones.

I imagine after you do that, it will look quite a lot like this:

that would look real cool i like the gibson toggle for that reason simplicity

I've emailed him but not heard back, he's expecting to have more end Nov according to his site, I'll definitely order two.

OK they're 21 Euros and will be done some time in December, I've asked to reserve 2.

Thanks very much mate - do you want cash now or later?

Later mate, wait until I post it to you

Cool.

Bryants has no Jags left.

Mike, have you thought about lowering the switches like James did on his Mustang? It could be a quick fix while you're waiting for your plate.

I think I'll just leave it as is for now, it's not a huge problem, only happened twice in a 4 hour rehearsal and I laughed both times. Klutz that I am.
I can't be bothered sourcing screws to lower them...

I am sorting the rhythm circuit tonight though, that shit is getting brightened up with a 1meg pot in place of the stock 50K tone pot.

I demand that you pay due attention to my reversing the switches solution above ^. Thank you.

No.

Only kidding, I'll probably do that tonight aswell when I'm replacing the pot.
