    I've thought about using 2x 3 ways, but I'd like to avoid adding any visible switches, appart from the Triple Shots but you can't really see the switches on them as they are very small and black on black.

    I've also thought of using a 3 way for neck/bridge with standard wiring, and add 1x blend pot to blend the P90 with the HBs...
    But I'm thinking it will be easier too switch between option with a Freeway. Have you used them before?

    Agree for the controls. I'm thinking I'll set it up with 1x vol for each pup and 1 x master tone.

    I want to keep a clear finish as the mahogany is quite nice so no plugging and patching! :-)

    Nice kit, will keep a close eye on this one as i want to add switching options to my SG-2 and theres not too much room for adding extra switches so i might borrow a few ideas if thats ok. cheers
