I will say that, after wiring up the harness, this whole thing feels a little over-ambitious. Wiring a 4PDT switch with capacitors and multiple wires sharing lugs is pretty tedious, especially when you've never wired a guitar before. It's all together and checks out with a multi-meter (checking continuity, that is) but if anything happens to go wrong, I don't think I'll be inclined to fix our troubleshoot the 4PDT as it's just too tight to get in there with a soldering iron again.
Shimming the switches isn't going to be ideal, and doing all this work to experiment with low output pickups probably isn't worth it.
But the harness is complete, so I have the option to use it if I want. I just got my PB guitar delivered yesterday and may do a more simple experimentation with it - maybe either just the partial phase, or just the Master series/parallel. But we'll see....
I'll post a pic of the harness in a bit. The wiring is done but I want to add something to stiffen it up so the wires stay to the perimeter of the F-hole.
