Cool...I read your thread and thought about on/off sliders like you did, combined with the push-pulls for coil-tapping, etc...hmmm...

Lots of good advice and good insights into the pros and cons...looks like there are a few mad scientists on this forum when it comes to wiring schemes

I know that any advantage gained by having the third pup is subtle at best, and possibly not worth the cost and effort...but the mad scientist in me would like to have as many options as possible...at least as many as my feeble little brain can comprehend. From reading everyone's comments, there are obviously some that I never considered...
