what I think is a unique and simple les paul wiring mod/idea...

so... here's the idea... a much simpler version of a wireup that would yield a nice combo of inside vs outside coils ala prs.... but only requiring a single push/pull pot.  

given a standard les paul wiring with a 3-way toggle, 2 volumes, 2 tones... (below I've sub'd in a 2nd push/pull for a booster but this could be a std tone control). 

would replace a tone control with a push/pull pot.  when pulled up it would change how the 3 way works and give "outside coils in series" in the bridge position, and "inside coils in series" in the neck position.  would also give a slightly different tone in the middle position as cancellation between coils would be slightly different.  all 6 distinct positions would be hum cancelling.  

would require that 1) you flip the magnet on the neck (if seymour or dimarzio or std pickups used) and 2) that the neck pickup is sort of 'wired backwards'.  

penney for your thoughts?
