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: DiMarzio pickups: Bridge - "D Sonic" DP207BC, middle - "Area 58" DP415BK, neck - "Air Norton" DP193BC. Pickup selection is via a 5-way blade based on a stock Strat config. The bridge and neck PUPS each have a dedicated 3-way mini switch for series / split / parallel modes for the coils within that pickup; a momentary kill switch terminates all output for the guitar, piezo and/or magnetics, in both mono and stereo modes. Master volume and tone pots; the volume is a push / pull that when pulled, activates the bridge PUP regardless of the 5-way switch position.
  • PIEZO: L. R. Baggs T Bridge and 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 mono output. When in the stereo mode, the master volume controls the mags, the Control X pot controls the piezo volume.

  • Unitec case; rectangular black Ampfelt exterior, 1/2" Mahogany plywood construction: custom fitted recessed body; storage compartment; ball corners; full length hinge; heavy duty rubber handle; green Durafelt interior
