A knurl was cut into the wood down inside the holes though it may be difficult to see that. For what it's worth, I doubt the knurl was really necessary here. I'm getting pretty close to finishing this thing. Only parts left are the electronics cover and the truss rod cover....then gluing and finshing. |

This guitar is built to use Seymour Duncan P-Rails....which is a combination of a P-90 and a single coil rail together in a single humbucker. The larger toggle switch is a three-way and is wired up like a Les Paul. The mini-switches split the coils of each pickup and allow for any combination of P-90 (warm early Beatle-ish tone), a single coil rail (should sound Strat-ish), or both together as a humbucker. It's a REAL versatile setup. Interesting thing about this pickup. When you choose the middle position on the three-way, and then split both pickups, the system will be noise cancelling...like a single humbucker. Pretty cool. |

Nice work Stuart. Steve Thanks.....but I'm still not quite sure what verhoevenc was really asking. Since he sounds dutch I'm cutting him slack. |

We're wondering if you would be interested in selling a few. |

Sure! But let it be known I didn't solicit this.  I got plenty of 'em. The bottoms were shaped to mate with a depression on the guitar but they look pretty good on a flat surface. The inside is shaped to fully encapsulate the threaded post, the nut, and a washer so they sit pretty low. They all have that same inlay. PM me.

Sweet! Great looking and definately original! I like the little half moon indicators on the knobs and the guitar. Really cool! |
