This has been a bit of a constantly evolving Electric XII build over the last few years... took some time over the last few days to wire it up / get it all back together. Really happy with how it's playing and it has a great sound with a ton of really geeky options.
Started life as Fender Mexican Jaguar Blacktop body which I stripped, reshaped, filled the bridge holes and routed a larger cavity (to change the scale length). I had the neck made by Musikraft in New Jersey - with a reclaimed Coney Island boardwalk fretboard, pickups are custom wound Firebird style humbuckers that can be switched between series/parallel modes, phase switched, and blended.
Originally pained it in lake placid blue nitrocellulose but I wasn't too keen on it so did it again in sherwood green... I ran out of paint before respraying the headstock and wont be able to get more until lockdown is over, can live with it for now :)
