I'm looking to do something odd to a CE 24.
TLDR I'm looking for a stacked pot that will allow me to control volume and tone with a stacked knob, but still allow me to tap the coils with a push or pull.
Long version. I've played Gibson style guitars most of my life, because of this I've developed a nasty habit with my right hand that causes me to hit the volume knob on guitars with the traditional Strat placement (e.g. Strat, CE 24, Custom 24, etc). guitars that have the volume knob lower down like a les Paul (McCarty 594, SG, etc) I don't have a problem with. I have a 594 that I really love, but I really dig the sound the longer scale, bolt neck, and steel trem block give the CE. It's just a different fun sound than my 594. I've been looking at ways to get around this, and I had an idea pop in my head that I saw on a PJ bass. There are stacked knobs, for stacked pots. It got me looking for something that had a stacked stacked pot with a push push or push pull to split the coils. Here's a link to the knob style I'm talking about:

and here's an example of a J Bass with these pots:

If anyone has some other ideas that don't involve routing out the back of the body, I'm open to ideas.
What I'd really like is a 594 with a bolt on maple neck, longer scale, and trem, but that's just crazy private stock talk that I can't afford haha.
