Trippy - it looks like something Billy Gibbons would play!

Yep, it's a well-known basic "man law". However, that looks like a wiring diagram for the guitar - and when it comes to wiring, I have to break the "man law" and refer to the instructions!

OK , I'll let you slide on the man law electronics , as we dont want to see it when you strum a few chords and all the neighborhood garage doors go up and down and the car alarms go off

Some of his guitars have 27 pickup positions. Try keeping that straight in your head while wiring.

Very nice, I love it.

He did a build before this one where he nailed the LP vibe on his guitar with that same shape. The difference is his only weighs about 6 pounds and is very comfortable to play standing for long periods of time.

Very nice AT. I guess the garlic capsules are the secret of its great tonal flavor.

27 pickup positions I am struggling with 3 to 5. Very cool looking guitar, though.

Yup. The guitar with all the pup positions is designed more for a studio musician looking for a lot of different tones in one axe. It would be tough to gig effectively with that many options.
