Looks great!  Really interesting combination of woods, parts and construction details.  And the Warpig looks cool with the black cover and screw polepieces (did that cost extra, by the way?)

The concentric pot is a neat idea.  Do you find it works well, or is it a bit fiddly?

Thanks, guys.

The concentric knob is easy to use.  They're firm enough that you don't accidentally turn one when you're turning the other one.  Besides, I hardly ever use the tone knob anyways.

Oh, and the 'Pig didn't cost anything more the way it is, as far as I remember.

interesting! why is it that then if im not being too annoying lol... cause i love my p-90.... but i really want to have a humbucker in a guitar somewhere! so your combo idea sounds really interesting...


Nah, you're not annoying.  Why do I like this combo?  Hmm.  I've never actually had a guitar with it before, so it was a bit of an experiment, but I like how it turned out.  After buying guitar after guitar, I've discovered that I really prefer humbuckers in the bridge for that extra kick they give.  I just like the sound!  It's nothing more complex than that.  :lol:

As for the neck single coil, well, the answers the same.  I find single coils more mellow than humbuckers in the neck position.  Maybe mellow isn't the right word, but there's something about how they sound that just does it for me.  Sorry I'm not being clearer.  It's just a taste thing and I'm too tired to get into more technical details.



lol no worries man, it sounds like a really good idea actually... and seeing as i really want to have a humbucker available for use i also love p-90s so it seems like it would suit me perfectly... might have to try it some day.

cheers.
