====== Jazzcaster ======

//This guitar is still hypothetical//

What to do with 3 dimarzio tapped stratocaster pickups? What would be a good way to prototype for alternate wiring possibilities on a stratocaster? What if we put these pickups on a modified jazzmaster body? (This would work on a strat also but jazzmasters are awesome!) Hmmm...

===== Features =====

  * Individual Pickup selection for each pickup with coil tap option
  * Phase switches for bridge and neck pickups
  * 5-way super switch controls series/parallel combinations

===== Switch Details =====

==== Individual Pickup Selection ====
3 mini-toggles located on the upper bout control each pickup. Each toggle has 3 positions, off, tapped, and full-on.

==== Pickup Orientation ====
A strat-style 5-way switch located on the lower body in the control area is used to determine series/parallel orientation. The 5 options on this switch include all possible combinations for the 3 pickups in the following order (neck/middle/bridge):
  * PPP 
  * SSP
  * SPS
  * PSS
  * SSS
...where the standard strat neck position equals all parallel, and the standard strat bridge position equals all series.

==== Phase Switches ====
2 phase switches are located on the lower bout and are used to reverse phase of the neck and bridge pickups respectively.
