I recently acquired a clean, used mid 2000's Ibanez AR 300. I always loved the look and shape of Bobby's Cowboy and figured this is about the closest I will get for a reasonable price. This is a great MIK guitar with beautiful flamed maple top and an excellent neck joint that allows substantially higher fret access than either my Nashville Tele or Les Paul.

I really like the look, feel, and finish but don't like the absence of a middle pickup or coil-splitting options. I have three brand new Super IIs I purchased several months ago from eBay for an anticipated Warmoth WGD build that I have yet to get to (and now I'm now tentatively scrapping that idea in favor of buying one of Troy Post's guitars at some point). I am considering routing a middle pickup cavity and installing the three Super IIs in the Ibanez. It is currently wired just like an LP with a 3-way toggle on the upper bout, and separate vol/tone knobs for each of the two humbuckers. Any thoughts on how to best wire this for three humbuckers with split coils? Thanks.
