Props for getting the project rolling. Mine has been stuck in design stage for more than a year.
This shape would be awesome with an airplane style paint job. Shape is a similar to one of those stealth bombers. Also it would look cool if you did string through with ferrules instead of a tailpiece.
You should spend a good chunk of time looking at hardware options, like pot knobs and such. Good matching hardware really ties a design together. Any thought on pickups yet?
Blender Pot Instead Of Selector?

Hi everyone.
I am in the design stage of a flying v project. I thought it would be nice to simplify the electronics by by substituting a blender pot for a 3 way toggle.
The basic setup in my brain is 2 humbuckers, blender pot, 2 pushpull pots. Master volume, master tone, blend between to pickups, and have the pushpulls do a couple coil combinations, out of phase or something, haven't decided yet.
I think I could get the desired simplicity while keeping versatility by subbing the blender for a rotary, but the blender seems cool.
Has anyone seen something like this before? Will using the blender pot degrade the guitar's signal at any time, such as in the extremes on either side?
What do you think about the ability to blend between 2 pickups?
Thanks for your input,
Thomas
