That looks like one mean mother f***** of a guitar! Quite strange looking too with neck backleaning bridge pup, the overdimensioned neck and the fanned frets  :D

Looks great! (not as pink as I expected for some reason, though)

You must be absurdly excited!

CLIPS or it never happened.  :D

Intrigued by the dual jacks there, I'm guessing that's to go into two completely separate rigs?

[Edit] My bad! I didn't see this bit:
Still in America though
But my request still stands. I demand that the moment this thing hits the ground, there be a rig and mic set up and ready to go. At the terminal. No dilly-dallying, please. :lol:

Can't say ive ever been a fan of those style of output jack, but nice to see dual outputs and fanned frets :)

Because it isn't - I posted a picture ages ago of the colour it was based on and it's a touch different.

I don't have a method of recording quality stuff actually :lol: The jacks = piezo and magnetics, piezos sound cr@p through guitar amps, P.A/Keyboard amp = million times better and I've tried that in person.

Why'd you not like locking jacks? I think all guitars should have them.

interesting, but - if my assumption that you don't want to mix piezo and magnetic pickups output - a simple A/B pedal should do the same thing, shouldn't it? but i repeat, the two jacks look definitely good!

See the 3 way switch on the left of the pickup selector... ;) and no, if I had a single jack running to an A/B pedal I'd be grounded to that pedal, this way I can be anywhere on the stage and I can just do it all on my guitar, mags/mix/piezos :)

That's a stunning piece of work, not to my tastes but definitely a head turner. I'm old school though, if it's more complicated than a telecaster then I get confused.
