Err... wheres it all gonna fit in :lol: its gonna look so cramped if you do manage to squeeze in 3 humbuckers and a single :?

It'll look like Nigel Tufnel's Music Man!

That's a lot of routing it may cause problems with the neck.

Pm Jonathon at Feline for a realistic answer!

You will only just get 3 HBs in there or two HB's and a single

Am I quick or what??

Have you got ESP Jonanthon?!!

FELINEGUITARS · « **Reply #5 on:** May 12, 2006, 09:34:37 PM »

Put 3 HBs and use 3 x 3way mini toggles (on/offf/on) to give HB/off/Single coil modes.
That will give you the most versatility.
Or use a 5 way and have 3 on/off coil tap switches

If the coils you are using are too close together you wont get the best single coil mixes out of them anyway - too much phase cancellation

Only the neck on "Frankie" - my first guitar I ever put together - that was an ESP neck.
Must replace it with a Feline one some day

3 HB and 1 SC: lots of string pull from the magnets. A piece of advice: don't set the pickups too high or you will loose all the sustain. :?

That's what came to my mind, too. :lol:

I don't think your proposed pickup configuration is going to be versatile enough. You need an H/S/P90/H setup. :lol:

:D Sorry dude that sounds like a really daft idea ! :?

You sound like your trying to cover to many basis with 1 guitar !

:D 8)

Jappse · « **Reply #14 on:** May 14, 2006, 06:31:47 PM »

I agree with JT, dont try to cover too much with one guitar. You should rather specialize your guitars, if you catch my drift...
