    What I would do is think about how I'm going to play the instrument. That may give you some clues about what will suit you best.
    Build #1, failed solid body 6 string using neck from a scrapped acoustic (45+ odd years ago as a teenager!)
    Build #2, ugly parlour semi with scratch built body and ex Peavey neck
    Build #3, Appalachian Dulcimer from EMS kit
    Build #4, pre-owned PB ESB-4
    Build #5, Lockdown Mandolin
    Build #6, Sixty six body for Squier
    Build #7, Mini Midi Bass
    Build #8, Acousticish Telecasterish Guitar

    That's a good point. If you need to quickly switch between neck and bridge pickups in the transition between parts of a song, having to push one knob down and the other up seems much harder than flipping a toggle. Plus if you do the knobs in the wrong order (up then down) you will get a volume stutter.
    Mantra: No more pedals, must finish BlueyCaster...
