The price of £299 represents a fantastic value – if you were to go into a local guitar store and buy a guitar for £299 you just get the guitar – NO CASE and definatly NO PRO SETUP, NO PREMIUM ELECTRONICS, NO BONE NUT, NO NEW STRINGS etc. All you would get is an off the shelf, production line guitar with no individuallity.
This Guitar has received an extraordinary amount of individual attention. It has been given a pro set up on a neck jig which simulated the tension of the strings while any fret or neck work was being performed. It has a hand carved bone nut and neck relief is set to within measurements as small as 0.001” / 0.02mm. The guitar comes with a fresh set of Ernie Ball strings. This kind of setup would normally cost you over £120+, and that is only if you can find a luthier who has access to a string tension simulation jig.
The electronics will give you the following control over the sound of the guitar:
Bridge Volume Pot:
Pulling out the bridge volume pot control puts both pickups in serial mode and bypasses the selector switch. Thus both pickups will be in series with the selector switch in any position. In this position the bridge volume and tone control work regularly as master controls, while the neck tone control works like a trebel booster, brightening up the sound in a broadbucker configuration.
Neck Volume Pot:
The neck volume pot switch puts the neck pickup out of phase. The effect is audible when both pickups are selected, that is in a serial mode or, when the guitar is in parallel mode, with the pickup selector in the middle position. Moreover, whe the neck pickup is in single coil mode, this switch selects which coil will be on.
Bridge Tone Pot:
Pulling the bridge tone pot switches the bridge pickup from the serial humbucker to parallel (dual sound) or, when the neck tone control is pulled too, to single coil.
Neck Tone Pot:
The neck tone pot switches the neck pickup to single coil and, when the bridge tone control is pulled, it also switches the bridge pickup to single coil.
