OK, all of this sounds really good. I'd love to have a series/parallel option and a phase switch. It's sort of like ala Jimmy Page!!! However, this is my problem. I can't replace any pots in my guitar any further because I've already used all of the space for the ghost sytem/ hexpander system that I've installed! You see, I have replaced the two volume controls with 2 dual concentric pots wired volume/ tone, volume/ tone because I don't want to lose the ability to have two volume and two tone controls. The remaining two tone pots I have replaced with a push pull pot which serves as a mid/dark boost and volume pot for the graphtech ghost system (piezo), while the other tone, I removed to make space for the hexpander volume pot (midi/synthesizer capabilities). All in all, its like having 7 pots occupying those 4 holes in my les paul- its pretty crowded already, so I have no idea where to place those two push pull pots for series/ parallel coil connection- that is... unless I have to drill extra holes and add extra pots. Now, I don't mind drilling holes but I have this thing with adding extra pots because you see, I already have a varitone switch and a couple of pots comming for the built- in chorus effect which means I have to drill 4 more holes!!! For aesthetic reasons, I want to make my lespaul look as normal as possible. I don't want to have a weird- looking les paul hollowbody with 8 pots. So now, my question is, is there a way in which we can achieve a series/parallel option and a phase switch without adding two more pots- ie. for instance, adding some switch or something somewhere? Anyways, thanks a lot for the suggestion.

I can’t sing so I sing through my guitar. So when the sound guy says: “Your guitar is too loud!” I think: "Why does he never say that to the vocalist?"
