I think it looks kinda cool.

Go ahead, flame away.

I wouldn't. It's just too much. Maybe three, OK.

Does it really help soundwise ? The gracefully built smaller body is dominated by four PUs, doesn't look right for me.

No flame intended, but it does look a mite crowded. And I don't particularly see the sonic advantages of any wiring scheme I can think of. But then, electric guitars are kinda like the 1932 Ford coupe; they're just begging to be hot rodded.

Four looks better than three, definitely.

Absolutely disagree. Three are spaced so much better, the four are too crowded...and three pickups are plenty anyway.

I've never found a need for more than two.

Might be a touch on the Nigel Tufnel side. Also, it may need a few more knobs to get the most out of the additional pickups.

If four is "cool", howwabout this?



ICY, man!!!



Antarctic!

OMG, Paul!!!




And one more for the four pu "rape victim":





(Sorry, but we are talking about thoughts. And that's what I thought at first sight)

Add a few more cresting waves, name it "The Tsunami!" and I believe you've got yourself a winner there.

A case of optical noise

"Tunami" is good...

"Tu-many" is better!

Two too many.
