    Fantastic! I hope you enjoy playing it. Thanks for the photos.

    I'm curious about the pup selector switch. Is it just for looks?

    The bridge is straight out to the amp, the mid is a boost and the neck position sounds like a cocked wah, which sounds killer :

    Thanks guys :salude

    Very nice!

    that, of course, they are many in number; or that, after all, they are other than the little,
    shriveled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour."

    Not sure - I'd have to take the guard off and have a look but I'd suspect that it is
