Specs and Materials
Initially designed to be an HSH guitar, but I then decided to use a humbucker sized P90 in the neck for a wider range of tones. The body uses recycled oak kitchen worktop with a bookmatched flame sycamore cap. The fretboard and control cavity cover use Ipe from a table that has been in my garden for 25 years!
The 16k humbucker (Iron Gear Dirty Torque) uses a partial split to slug in position 1 – the Push Pull Tone pot gives the full humbucker when required. The middle and neck pickups have the same wind and magnetic polarity, so Position 4 has been implemented as split bridge and neck. The wiring diagram is available here: (link)
25.5 inch scale with Telecaster body shape and Music Man headstock.
The finished weight is 8lb 15oz – just like a mid 60s Fender!
