Help me create an unusual guitar

I've got plenty of p90 guitars but no filter tons.. so what if I try to get the best of both?

I'm thinking about combining a filtertron bridge and neck with a noiseless p90 in the middle. With a modified five-way I get jangly scoop in the bridge neck and combined and using each of the noiseless p90 coil separately, I can get a bit of hum canceling in two and four.

I'll probably dedicate a push-pull to flip the middle position so that it can also be the p90 all by itself.

So just stopping right there, doesn't that sound like it would be a pretty cool mix of jangle and punch?

The next question is how to build it. It'll be 25.5 because that's all I play anymore. Probably not a maple neck to avoid overdoing the brightness.

I'm thinking mahogany might be too dark for the body but I'm also playing around with the thought of a chambered body with a solid top.

So kind of a 25 and a half jet with a p90 in the middle.

Anybody seen anything like this or have any thoughts?
 
i havent seen anything like that, but it sounds like a fun project! im assuming you are going to use a side by side noiseless p90? if you went stack, you wouldnt want to use the bottom coil by itself. in my limited experience, it sounded very weak
 
Yep side by side and I hadn't thought about it yet, is the Duncan p90 noiseless side by side?

And yeah I've got the general idea what I haven't figured out really is the wood so more thinking before action :-)

NEever can plan too much. Wait till you 100% certain on what exactly you want. Rushing in will net undesireable results.
