However, I have no use for the separate volume and tone controls, and find them annoying - for me, there are only three obviously distinguishable sounds... with the pickups perfectly balanced, and with one of them inaudible. There's just no useful range of the "blend" thing that people go on about (unless the pickups are out of phase), so for the balance I just use two pickups that match properly and for the other two sounds I use the switch. The problem is when you want to turn down, you have to move both volume controls by the same amount to keep the balance, which is a faff.
The one that avoids this is the three-pickup Custom, which has the 'middle' position (bridge and middle pickups) running through the bridge controls only, so there is no blending. That's one of the reasons I like those, even though the combinations are limited.

You're right, adding this one back to the pool of available instruments is one more for those female players!!
P.S. Lately I've actually been spending a bit of time in the middle position of 2 humbuckers cause I remember reading your post that you use it most of the time.
Country and Western?
But that could be extended to...... (shudder) Americana.

The ESPs do look good. But I know I'd hate the neck shapes.
Thanks Jonathan and the boys at Feline exceeded every expectation I had – properly amazing guitars!
I like Les Paul's. My wife kisses me.
