Wiring is messed up already as only 1 volume pot is controlling both pickups. And I am going to replace the EMGs with some passive SDs as well. Since I'm just not gelling with the 3 way blade switch, I am thinking of adding a 3 way toggle switch. Here is my plan & some questions, feel free to add advice or talk me off the ledge. 
I am thinking of using the 1st volume pot hole to mount the 3 way toggle. Seems to be the best location for access & we all hate the placement of that volume knob anyway. My question here is what would be the best way to widen that hole to accept the 3 way toggle without ruining/chipping the finish?
Yes this will make volume swells with the volume pot inconvenient/impossible. Not really an issue since I tend to use a volume pedal anyway.
My next thought is do I keep the tone pot or ditch it & still have a 2 volume pot guitar. I'm leaning this way as I do like the idea of having each pickup set different (depending on application) & flip the toggle without also having to adjust the volume pot or pedal.
The above has crossed my mind for the KV as well. Accessing that blade switch is an absolute pain in the ass.
