Wiring

I was very happy with the guitar, but I still wanted to give it some upgrades, next to the visual upgrades, it now also has the Gilmour mod (neck pickup always on) and the fastlane mod (bridge pickup directly to output, overriding the switch and knobs). Both are wired via push-push knobs for easy (dis)engaging. It took a couple of tries before everything worked as expected, but it was definitely worth it. Below the schematics, in case anyone wants to do the same.

Cool project. Have you tried a treble bleed mod? I like it on the neck PU of single coils, keeps the volume pot more usable.

I'm not a fan of treble bleeds. I use a lot of fuzz pedals and they mess with the vintage fuzzes like fuzz faces and tonebenders. My Fatoumata Diawara SG has treble bleed circuits on its pickups and finding a fuzz that pairs well with it is a pain.
