I prefer to have two Cheyennes, one with the pickups closer to the neck, the other with the pickups closer to the bridge.

How about a doubleneck with the two different pickups locations available at all times.

Or, one like this, with whatever combination of pickups you could ever want...

If you slide a coupe of those over there should be room for two more pickups, CJ.

One side would have to be fretless. Probably the side with the pickups closer to the bridge would be best for fretless.

The other one could be an 8 string.

Or a 5 string!

I'm probably a little in the minority here, but I love the way they sound with the neckward placement. I thought I wouldn't but I really do.
