This is the guitar I built for myself a couple of years ago. I used a piece of my Irish walnut for the deeply carved top (from a tree that was felled in a storm in 1983) and the back is Brazillian mahogany. The neck is a laminate of very well flamed maple with a centre strip of Irish walnut. My first 'serious' guitar (a 1961 Gibson SG) has P90 pickups and I liked them then (and still do) so this is what I used. The mini switch connects the two pickups in series and sends the output directly to the volume control regardless of the selector. The resulting midrange boost really hits the amp!
