Look at Duncan's P-Rails:

Humbucker/Single-coil/P-90 all in one wonder. Throw a couple of these in your guitar & try to count the all the combinations!

Hey Defrag, they look excellent. However, the two wiring diagrams for standard 2 pickups, 2 tones, 2 volumes suggests that you have to choose what tones you want.

I prefer this one.

However, If you have effectively 4 different sounds for each pickup (rail single coil, P90, higher output series humbucker and PAF-y parallel humbucker) then with only 2 push pull pots you will only get 4 combinations, so you will only get that degree of control over both pickups combined. I would imagine if you wanted to be able to choose between 4 different sounds on each pickup and mix and match for the middle position (say, bridge humbucker and neck single coil) or of course use a single coil in the neck for rhythm and a humbucker in the Bridge for lead then you would need 4 push pull pots. Either way, I want these pickups! I've been thinking about upgrading the stock p-ups on my PRS Tremonti SE (a nice enough guitar to keep, but not so nice that I don't want to tinker with it ) and these look ideal. Any idea on the price yet?
