How many options?!

[brickers]

I’m considering building a music man/super jazz hybrid tone monster. The initial idea is to buy two quad coil humbucking pickups and set up the electronics for every possible combination. Each pick up would have a five way switch to choose between north coil, south coil, both coils in series or parallel, or off. And then a two-way switch to choose between combining the output of each pick up in series or in parallel.
 

A couple of questions I have:

Is this a viable way of combining the two pick ups electronics wise?

is it even worth making all of these two options available?

IME, while it is a great idea to have all the options available, in reality you'll pick one that works for your sound and then never change it.

 

If I was doing this, I'd make a temporary control plate that will allow all the various options, and then when you have settled on the one(s) you like make a new one that just allows that/those.

Thanks. I think that thought was probably in the back of my head. I currently have some EMG pickups that allow some of this tonal variety but I don’t really care for the differences that much, but I also think I’m not a fan of these particular pickups in general, so I’m struggling to know what the issue is.

I guess this is what sterling did with their HH models… should have got an HH! 😭
