Hamer USA project questions

[morningstar]

I have a Centaura USA neck with a FR nut and Schaller tuners, and a Rio Big Bottom Bastard Set.

I am trolling for a USA Diablo Body, either I or II is fine.

Can the Rio P-90's be wired to stacked concentric pots for tone and volume?

Either way what are the best pots (within reason)?

Can I use the Tele style "hat" three way in a USA body?

The jack plate, if missing... do any modern products fit?

Thanks

CTS pots are a bit of a no brainer - industry standard and not expensive.

Some far east 3 way blades aren't the same screw spacing so use CRL or Oak - both fit although i can't guarantee that top hat toggle will stay on due to the switch being surface mounted.

Jack plate is standard strat.

Hope you find all the parts! When you finish it, the result will be a very nice guitar. Here's the one I built last month:

Can you get either of the local shops (Warmoth or USA Custom) to do a Centaura II body?, - 2 reverse hums (p90s in your case) - as I'm sure you remember.

Or, let me throw this idea out: A TLE style body, but with the 2 reverse slant p90s?

I priced Warmoth and I just don't have the budget for a new body.

thanks!
