You still have plenty of room for a lipstick pickup by the bridge.

Seriously, it does look nice with the concentric knobs.

It may be bad, but Demolition Man is one of my daughter's favorites.

I won't forget Wesly Snipes blowing up something with a weapon he just discovered, then gleefully shouting "I have GOT to get me one of THESE!"

Looks awesome.

 I like Humbucker with the single coil best thought the Humbucker with the Jazz sounds really good to.
