    I was noticing the Florida myself. Like the way that angles out. I actually prefer the blonde one. He has a nice carving style to the edges of these. That said, the back of the green one is awesome.

    Both are beautiful. While I generally prefer Blonds, the right Green might also catch my eye.

    I am wondering about the 3 way switches. Are these both single HBers? Do they go to single coil? What would be available for the third position?

    It's an on/on/on switch. Humbucker/single coil/out of phase. The out of phase reverses the start and finish of one coil. It gives three distinct tones.

    Cheers.
