Of course, it needs a middle pickup and some switches...

Looks like it got cut off. Any chance on getting the entire cavity?

I see that you prefer the green metal film capacitors. I like the ceramics...seem to have a little more body. Although, the metal film have more tone sweep. It all depends on your individual taste. Nice wiring job BTW.

Who are you addressing- is this someone on rukind? Can you tell what all these switches are supposed to do? I can't.

I think switch #2 activates the disco lights and switch #13 controls the mirror ball's rpm's.....or is the other way around??

If you get the exact right combination, it removes the clothes of every woman in the bar under 35.

Sorry about that. I thought it was from someone from Rukind. Now I see the ebay link.
It looks like in each row there are 2 switches that activate 2 different capacitors for a variation in tone, aside from the Phase and coil cut switches.
But it gets more Bizarre, there are three rows of switches and only 2 pickups.....

That's kinda what I was expecting to see, but I'm only seeing two caps total, one for each tone pot.

Probably coil splitters, in phase vs. out of phase, front coil vs. rear coil, etc.

I think that the right combo is actually the nuclear launch sequence. Very clever of the NSA to disguise it as a guitar!
