Enlighten me

Quite fancy one of these as a gnarly single pickup job may be a Prails or a home brew bucker for slide

Just not quite sure what all the pot holes are for or the dinky scratch plate. So behind the the times :-)

  • You could probably squeeze a SHO in there without any mods, especially if you used mini pots.  Might even fit a battery in.  

    So, active boost, volume, tone, and variable coil shunt.  BOOM.  

    Or, 2 outputs and piezo saddles.

    Or... Wait, a single pickup guitar is normally simples.  Hmm.

    I could sell you some filler :)
    Actually my Pink Terror test guitar is in a a single pickup strat guise at the moment (on holidays with Katie ... the Oil City trainee at the moment) I'd use a two control single pickup scratch plate ... volume and coil split pot ... does it all.

    Since the top one has a toggle switch hole that implies two pickups, I'd guess it's for a piezo bridge.

    The bottom one you could put a 3-way or 5-way Strat switch or a Superswitch in and get all sorts of options from one pickup - series, parallel, either coil, out of phase, semi-split…

    I was a bit disappointed the first time I opened up a Tom Delonge Strat and found there was only a rout for the volume control and no room to put anything else in. You can still do a coil split with a push-pull though.
