Not something I'd want, but it's pretty cool.

Interesting...as I have been thinking of performance a similar mod to a 'hog M65 that had a neck repair!
Only difference is I would use a Guildsby.
The attached picture is what gave me the inspiration.

I guess you'd put a 5 way switch in? But then what do the four knobs do? 3 volume and 1 tone?

I've always wanted a variation similar to that guitar as well but with two Dearmonds and a Guildsby.

There is a lot of stuff going on here….
F holes , three pups, whammy, knobs all on a smaller guitar.
I mean it’s cool, but not for mushroom.

A few other Guild triple pickup models...
The Starfire 4 is from the defunk Nashville Custom shop. It has 3 Volume and a Master tone control. I prefer this wiring configuration because it covers all options. The little switch is 3-way. Up the large selector switch functions normally,small toggle in middle position adds the center pickup, small toggle down selects center pickup only.

The modified SF1SC has the 6-position switch. I changed the stock pickup selector knob to a "chicken head" knob to make it easy to grip and indicate position. The pickups are DeA 2k's I had hanging around. Easy swap. Only the bridge position pup had short wires making the splice a little tight.
