That's more knobs than your average boy band. What do they all do?

The cluster of four knobs are les paul 2xvol 2xtone. The knob which next to the bridge pickup is master volume - its in a very good position for violin-ing effects. The large switch is neck/bridge selector as you would expect. Not exactly sure what the mini-toggle does. It just works in the middle position which leads me to believe it might be a phase switch for the neck pickup, though I am by no means sure of that at this stage.

Well it's not the kind of guitar I'd buy personally - but John Birch was THE MAN a few years back when it came to custom guitars. Didn't he make that HUGE flying V for the guitarist from Budgie?

Good purchasing there, how's about a sound clip or two?

the thundertomate phil hilbourne signature, you order it from the the phil hilbourne website. its kind of expensive, but its been worth it. works best with single coils and low output humbuckers. demin'n'leather on this very forum suggested it to me. the 'cut' knob makes it versatile ampwise, even working great with my bright marshall master volume.
