    I'm not 100% sure, but I think the pickup routing might be different for P90 pickups depending if they have soapbar covers or Dog Ear ones.
    With the soapbar ones need to be routed deeper.
    Not such a biggy with a solid body, but if wanting P90's with a ES-1 KIT for instance, it would mean routing the neck tounge, or making it thinner, so the the neck pickup would fit under the strings....I've had to take around 7mm off mine.

    But then again, I don't know if you intend to offer that option with semi kits like the ES-1

    Apart from that, all options I can think of are covered in the choices give.
    I was going to ask for a option to have head stock binding, then remembered that on the vast majority of kits, that is left up to the builder.

    All true, and P-90 dog-ear routing on a semi- or hollow-body guitar would a be nice option (though not sure how far away this would leave the pups away from the strings on some of the kits, on an ES-3 you might need some shims as well). But for me this leads on to the question of whether P90 routing is available at all on this particular body? So if there are options for P90 soapbars and P90 dog-ears, then it would be best to list them, rather than add a note and assume it can be done. Is there also a mini-humbucker routing option if you wanted to do a LP Deluxe style guitar for your Thin Lizzy tribute band? (Not sure if this is different from a P90 rout or whether they are compatible).



    And thoughts of P90s then led me to the bridge routing option. If you wanted to fit a wrap-over bridge, then you wouldn't want any stop-bar holes drilled and ruining your nice veneered top. Is this an option?
