  1. I have not tried that one, but did install a BigD Guitars Vari-tone switch, in my ZBD. With 3 pickups and only one tone knob, it wasn't cutting it. Changing to the BigD was a reversable mod that worked a lot better. I did a side-by-side comparison with a Lucille and found that the preset tones much more usable. I will say that the install was easy, but that was in a full depth jazz box. Might be a little tougher in a semi-hollow or Les Paul type guitar. All in all, a definite upgrade, a quality piece.

    I just sent Derek an email to request dimensions of his switches. Thanks Tweed2!

  2. I have a '94 Gibson Hawk (body similar to Nighthawk). It was originally H/H with a single tone/single volume. A previous owner added a third pot, and it is currently configured as vol/vol/tone. I prefer a single volume/tone configuration, and was considering adding a Varitone to replace the 3rd pot. I ran across the ToneStyler, and wondered if anyone has any experience with them as an alternative to the Varitone.

     

    I have also posted this in the Gibson forum, but the Epiphone forum seems more responsive.
