Closest So Far to Being Done With This Guitar Part IV!
Fully functional but ergonomically frustrating weird looking guitar: bare wood, unsanded, unpolished, no leg/arm rests. It's got Fender LSR nut with D'Addario 12s, Steinberger Gearless Tuners, EMG 81TWX (bridge) and EMG 89XR (neck) with per-pickup volume/mode-select & tone plus guitar master volume, 3 way mini-toggle, and a bunch of fugly speed knobs that I hate. The craftsmanship should best be described as "completely functional".
It sounds about like I meant it to: cleans cleaner than clean, largely non-resonant, sterile tone, sustain for decades, a tiny bit nasal. The "single-coil" modes do in fact unreasonably approximate that single coil sound, enough to satisfy a tone moron like me. Next will be better knobs, sanding, finishing, fixing a dead note the high-e at 17 (serious leveling failure), and adding some equally funny-looking arm and leg rests. The back control cavities are see-through acrylic so you can eyeball the custom CVS 9 volt.
