    I seem to have a good balance here, still working on the wiring from hell in my head , not sure what i am about yet, but i think a 5 way super switch will go in and maybe some other bits and pieces, i have 4 conductor wires on the neck HB so i will get stuck into that for sure.

    Black Scratch plate flipped with a pair of white/ cream Q Parts Custom knobs, subject to change.

    Heres a mock up
