        nah, that's too much. I love the way the JM looks but I feel a third pickup balances the look and the wiring needs to be simplified. I never cared much for the lead/rhythm circuit.

          My first thoughts as well. That said, it looks like a design with great upper-fret access.

              Love the shape and the pups and all the other positives that other posters have mentioned.

              As far as electronics, from my POV, that's just an opportunity to explore fun alternate wirings

                  I like the rhythm switch as like neck pickup blower switch. Leave the lead circuit on full volume and tone and then back of the controls on the rhythm circuit a little and you get a smoother bassier neck tone, a bright full neck tone, and a cutting bridge tone, without having to find That perfect spot on the knobs every time you wanna go back to that darker neck tone

                    You know, it just occurred to me that it would be pretty simple to swap the pickup wired to the rhythm circuit switch to the bridge pickup. Although the dark neck sound is useful - especially if you want a woolly tone running through a fuzz box.
