Quite a project!

With a neck and bridge humbucker, two volumes certainly increase versatility, but also complexity in operation. It's a KISS vs technical bells and whistles decision. WIll you use it? How easy will it be to use it? Where you locate them so they can be easily operated on the fly is important.[br][br]For me, ultimately it'd be triaged yes/no dependent upon whether the routing accomodated it ..unless you have means of doing a neat routing job yourself if necessary?

I've got two volumes and single split on my Harley Benton SC Custom modern Les Paul clone. I find a single tone control is adequate with the three way Switchcraft type selector.

[br]Check with Steve in the Guitar Tech forum about fitting a roller bridge and its impact upon stable intonation. You may change your mind, ...or not?
