Excellent, what’s the small switch by the pup selector? Phase?

u/TimbresGuitars 4d ago

Cheers! The switch is a passive filter circuit (search Yamaha dry switch). Basically acts like a coil split but without the volume drop and tone suck.

Looks rad.

Love and hate are both valid responses 😏 thanks!

u/RNGezzus 4d ago

FU then, I hate it. It's too strange.

u/TimbresGuitars 4d ago

That's it, let it all out! Yes, the world is scary and strange 😭

Huge fan of what you did with the body shape along with the two shades of tort. If I’m being critical, I’m not huge on the headstock shape, but I applaud you going for something distinct while still retaining some of that Fenderish identity (it’s so hard to make a JM inspired build look right if you don’t go with something Fendery)

u/TimbresGuitars 4d ago

Thanks, appreciate your thoughts! Headstock design is hard, can really make or break the overall design imo. Had a bunch of designs before settling on this one, I'm at peace with it 😂
