ELECTRONICS: Loaded with both magnetic and piezo pickups with a 3-way mini selector that isolates or mixes each output in stereo or mono.

  • MAGNETICS: Gibson 496R humbucker at the neck and 500T humbucker at the bridge routed through a unique balance / blend pot, master volume and tone controls. The volume and tone pots are push / pulls that split a dedicated pickup when pulled for mixed, full single or double coil sound.
  • PIEZO: L. R. Baggs TuneOMatic style bridge routed through a Baggs Control X preamp. Includes a stereo / mono output switch accessible from the front of the guitar. The Control X unit allows blending of the piezo / magnetic pickups and utilizes one master volume control for all output. Since each string saddle has its own piezo pickup and lead, this guitar can be modified for full hexaphonic output.

    OTHER STUFF: Custom Unitec "Elite" ATA rated case made to fit this instrument, as well as a stereo to split mono cord. When in the stereo mode, piezo and mags will be fed into separate channels or amps.
