    Rat Rod.

    Stuff that has been lurking in dark corners..

    Add prototype neck, a weird Tele-P90-Strat pup config, chopped down bridge and modded Jbass control cover with Creative Sundays, when DB gets to play in the Man Cave..

    Just add lunchtime Bock, (two long necks with crispy bacon, poached egg and more bacon)

    Oh well, at least I am having fun whilst trying ideas out

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    has potential DB, how about modifying the bridge route and putting the p90 there, would give it visual balance...

    Could do rotary switch, concentric volume / tome for mag pups and master volume and tone for piezo? Would be interesting to see the wiring and the nightmare DB would go through!

    That control cover is a great left of centre idea.

    Hey DB, where'd you get that control cover? Never seen one like that before. Did you cut it?
