I have 2 versions of this guy. The first version works best in a pickguard installation. The 2nd version would work with either a pickguard or installed directly into a solid body. The primary difference between the 2 is that the pickguard only version has all 3 pots installed on it and you have to drill 3 holes in a straight line at with a spacing of 1.5" between the holes. The way it is laid out gives a maximum thickness of the place where it installed of 1/8"

Version 2 has just the push pull pot installed with a couple of screw terminal blocks for tying in the input/output/power and the other 2 pots. I have tested both versions and they work well. Version 2 allows you to place your pots as you see fit. It also allows the installation into a thicker piece of material since the push/pull pot has 3/8" length of thread available and it is fully exposed.

You need a stereo jack, 9v battery and cable for both. You need a 100k and 25k pot for version 2.
