Wonder if this mod is possible?

I wonder where i can fully custom make a silo pickguard?
H H wired to 3 way dimarzio toggle relocated somewhere nearer to the picking hand like of the petrucci's.. since i dont use the single coil at all .. Show me the way!!

Dhalif, I wanted the JP layout on my Motrucci project, so I had the body routed a little to make way for the planned mods.

Bearing in mind this is a SUB body based on the Silo Special; I am not sure what the control cavity looks like under the pick guard on a Silo.

The modified control layout required two areas of wood to be removed, one for the volume position, and one for the DiMarzio EP1111 switch. The following modified layout shows how the design was planned:

Here is a snap of the routing that was required in the control cavity, and in the pickup cavity (for the DiMarzio single coil).

So, it can be done with a couple of small mods at most. I prefer the JP layout to anything out there, it just feels right. Couple of pics of the finished layout:
