Almost looks over-engineered to me ... but if it works, why not?
Anyone have the formula for calculating this? (Doctor Who?)
Missed that earlier, Paul ... it would be some sort of permutation calculation, but I'm a chemist, not a statistician, so I'd have to look it up in a math or statistics text.

I do remember it as simple from statistics...it was somethig like axbxcxd-1...but I'm stumped.

The Les Paul thing is not really over-engineered; as a matter of fact, by simply using that cross-wired 4 gang, 10 position switch, all kinds of options open up. Maybe it looks overdone because it's old, analogue tech...

really it is not overdone, lp pro or recording are some of the best from that line of les pauls of 70's. people are scared just beacuse it seems not simplistic enough but it is easy to use even during life performance. if i remeber correctly i've seen couple years ago 450/12 on ebay with similar layout with 3 pickups minus low impedance of course. gibson had the blueshawk line untill very recently that would be probably good to look atfor simple schematics - three way - volume - tone/pull-bypass - varitone.
