Mono with 3 concentrics.  Jazz single coil in the bridge.  The neck 'bucker is hotter than the middle one, big bottom when soloed.  There's a lot of variation keeping all 3 pups between 7 and 9.5 in volume and working the tone pot on each.

Nice clean look to the controls. Much better than several mini-switches.

Been away for a while, joined a Maoist Freedom Fighter Brigade in preparation for moving production back to the PRC.  At it in the swamp until after Spring Festival (AKA "Chinese New Year).

You can do that , too.  Via high speed rail even.

JadeFade done.  Faux binding.  Body/Neck combo weighs 6.4 lbs.  Should be under 8.5 when completed.
