Thanks Simon, you just about nailed it with your description, with the tone midway it is a very Gibson like sound and 2 finger power chords sound pretty epic (I may have upset the neighbours a touch earlier as I cranked up the old AC30) who needs pedals? With the tone at full treble it screams, though at the other end at high volumes it is a touch muddy. At more sensible levels it is a usable round, warm tone. I am quite pleased overall as the wire up was more by luck than judgement! I would be interested if you have a diagram of what you would consider an optimum single pick-up loom as I hope to finish a couple of others for friends shortly
