That would be an ES333.

I can't reallt choose one option on that poll. I like the standard strat layout - but only a master tone; I will never understand not having a bridge pup tone control

However, I also like having more various tones available - such as on my other guitars, with series parallel, and in/out of phase combinations and individual pickup switches. Guess I'll just have to always have more than one guitar

yeah. I mean... I really would prefer to have only one guitar - preferably a really crappy one (say a Tom DeLonge Samick

) - but I guess I'll just have to accept having lots of guitars, and I suppose I'll put up with them being playable too.

The Customs people tell me body cavities are good for so much more than simple acoustic fatness....

I have these groovy 5-way pickup switches for 2 humbuckers that give this arrangement:

Neck series - Neck parallel - Neck inner coil + Bridge inner coil - Bridge inner coil - Bridge series.

And another that gives the PRS array of single coil/HB combinations.

They pretty much do away with the need for pull pots and extra switches in my opinion. The nice thing is, the first one is an Ibanez unit that costs the same as a standard 5-way

Me neither - so I installed a TBX control.

You modified a sacred vessel - gasp - a US strat??

For shame - Leo will definately not now receive you into his kingdom when you pass on but you will be forced to lie with the poor, smelly and afflicted (Solo mums, ethinic minorities and those on a less then $60,000 median income/living in Wainuiomata) in the deep pit with naught but a 'awesome, collectible and rare vintage guitar' from trade me to keep you company while the 'dogges will lycke your feete'.

We will weep for you O Brother!

yeah you should have put a push/pull control in as well so you could have neck and bridge on together
