Some guitar manufacturers charge extra for making the paint look like that.
Aaaaggh! Coil split, man.
Vintage three pickup Gibson Les Pauls and SGs have an extra sprung leaf on the selector switch. The switch selections are;
- Neck Only
- Middle and Bridge (out of phase)
- Bridge Only
It is possible to reconfigure the four control pots in several interesting ways.- 3x individual volume per pickup, 1x master tone
- Volume & tone for middle pickup. Volume & tone for bridge and neck pickups.
- Steve Howe style - 3x individual volume per pickup, 1x master tone, 1x master volume. (One of the latter two is mounted in the selector switch orifice).
Regarding the fancy switching suggestion. Older forumites may recall the book How To Customise Your Electric Guitar by Adrian Legg. In this, one of Legg's wiring experiments was a screw-on neck LP copy with so many mode switches that it resembled a porcupine. As Legg candidly observed, many of the permutations sounded extremely similar to each other and the majority of them sounded shite. (My wording.)Stuck record time. The tidy way to get the most from a three pickup LP or SG is the Freeway 3x3-03 six-way selector switch. Knowing Lord Seven as I do, his taste would probably be for a rotary selector circuit à la Gibson L6-S. :-p
