Cort Guitar, I Need To Identify!

i'll post pictures this evening. -
hey guys, while i was at my favorite guitar store last night i discovered a 1986 Cort guitar that i didn't realize they made. it is the Dean ML body style with a normal cort headstock. it is a set neck with a two humbucker setup. in place of a typical les paul style three way switch it has a mini 3 way. it has another switch right below it that is 2 position, but it makes no apparent difference in tone, leading me to believe it is disconnected. i will crack open the electronics cavity tonight and find out. it has a fender style tremolo but my fender tremolo arm doesn't fit in it, the cavity is slightly larger, but it is differently setup than the average floyd rose. it has two volume and one tone. it is white but has faded pretty well to yellow. the shop that i bought it from (SRH soundworks, Claremont, NH) told me that it was constructed of plywood, but i am not certain. at the very least it is multi laminate. it has a brass nut, and 3 dots for each inlay, which are also made of brass. any help would be lovely. thanks guys. - Brian L.

i am building a prototype of my new body design which has a pickup selector on the upper horn, as with the les paul. how to i build or route the channel that goes between the pickup selector and the electronics? do i have to have a laminate top and route the channel into the body and cover it with the laminate, or is there a better way to do it? thanks -Brian L.

hey guys, i am about to start building a guitar, and i wasn't sure how to go about the fretboard. the body of the guitar is going to be stained white or gray to bring out the figure (also need help on this, to decide how to do this) and my idea was to also dye the fretboard to match it. i don't know what type of wood to do this with, but preferably something medium to high figure, and preferably not maple. another option would be to paint the fretboard to match the body, but i don't know if that has any advantage or disadvantage over dying it. any pointers?
