Locking Tuners
This guitar literally looks fire hot. It is meant to be played the way you would play a hot player . The twang and attack are all there –a dry twang and bite. The wood is old and resonant while the paper thin shell top adds more snap. The pickups are vintage in nature for the old tones BUT the middle pickup not only gives you all the standard tones but adds 7 new tones including all series powertones. Yes, you can switch from a vintage country to a hot rock overdriven tone in a split second. NO stompboxes needed.
This Fingertips switching is so quick and accurate – but a damn lot of extra work. I use the finest miniswitches. There is only one small drawback: There may be some more 60 cycle hum in some positions. Ask me for details and I will openely discuss this with you. The advantages far outweigh this one small drawback.
The roasted maple neck is just right and smooth up and down. It is also damn pretty to look at; a choice piece of wood: hard and stable. Pearlvibe headstock.
You will also notice the nicely rounded edges oft he guitar body. This not only adds comfort and a nice feel but also eneables me to the the lacquer as thin as possible. All 4 tone sunburst effects were done with airbrush.
Play her on stage or in sunlight; she comes alive. It is like looking at glowing embers.
