More holes than I can handle

You've edge mounted the output jack, right? So, you have the large pickup selector hole and now 4 + 1 pot holes?

Correct.

You could use push/pull volume and tone pairs for each pickup which would allow you to have series/parallel/outer coil/inner coil switching. That would give you a lot of variation.

How do I get series/parallel/outer/inner onto the four push pulls? I can only think of how to do outer/inner with four push pulls if I'm doing it on both pups. Or are you saying do outer/inner on the push pulls and series/parallel on a rotary? The latter I can definitely draw up myself, but I don't know how to do the first one.

What do your pickups sound like when coil split or in parallel? It may pay to research and see if you can get some sound samples, as it may not be worth having all the switching options if they are not going to provide the type of sound you're looking for.

When my tuners get here, the first thing I'm doing is running them straight to out so I can have a little noodle on the guitar and check it out (never had a good play on a hollow body except a brief noodle at wok's house). I can work that out from there - not too many clean tone demos of these out there, but the ones that are out there are sweet as.

That said, using pups from the same company on my last build - I found that series, parallel and front/back in the bridge didn't have much difference into most setups (maybe because of loading/not having a buffer).
