Those just white DiMarzio style? Yeah chrome would look more appealing but they (white ones) kinda go with the untraditional look of zebra p-ups on a tele. Gives it more of a shred look, scalloped fretboard next?!

Great job man!  Did you get that super switch squared away or did you go back with the 3 way switch?

Ended up using the super switch, my step dad who's an electrician helped me figure it out!

These were the positions:
Position 1: full bridge humbucker
Position 2: both pickups coil split
Position 3: both pickups humbucking
Position 4: neck pickup split
Position 5: neck pickup full humbucker

Nice!  Now get a push pull so you can reverse the phase and you've got Jimmy Page tones!!!

LOL, come on wheres your sense of adventure?  Besides you don't have to mess with switch to wire in a mini toggle check this link out http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wi … inglecoils
Seriously this is some real fun if you get it working right!  Adds some funk to that sound for sure!  Plus if your looking for something different when its time to solo lets just say this gets nasty sounding when dirty!

I'll second this. I had a Burns Brian May Red Special several years ago and while I never got on with the guitar that well, I did like the way you could do the phase switching thing to give a sound that really stood out...

Great stuff Stefan, as a woodwork teacher in my long distant past I can see the effort and attention to detail that's gone into that. A great result with excellent sound. Well done mate. cool
