The body design was a blend of a PRS and a LES Paul...so this picture is interesting.  Essentially, all I can see for next time is to reduce the size of that blasted upper bout...it is a little bigger than I thought.

Yeah, the car thing kinda stinks.  My wife and I thought we had that figured out, and we were saving for a down payment on a house - but I figure I will not get anything close from the insurance as to what the car was worth to me - ...oh well.  We'll figure it out.  The apartment neighbors have yet to complain about the bandsaw running...

Shawn - honestly, when I first positioned the pickups, I knew no better...That will change in the guitars to come.  What I did with the wiring was a combination of a great many standard methods.  I made it possible to tap both pickups, which gives some good tonal variation.  Additionally, I added a small capacitor on the volume pots to bleed some of the treble off at the low volume end - so it would be more consistent across the volume board.  I also swapped volume - 3 way - tone connections to provide for individual volume control when both pickups are activated.  Aside from that, I work for a prototyping engineering firm, and we recently bought crate loads of a company's old stuff - in it were boxes of mixed up orange and green drop caps...so I experimented with them to better attenuate certain frequencies based on the pickup position...blah.  I had some fun and learned a great deal.
