Pickups are twin-sound Jaguar pickups made by the Creamery, each attached to their own three way switch. Each pickup has the option of modern or classic wiring.
HOWEVER, the classic wiring sound is a bit quieter. To combat that and create even leveling, the chicken head knob is an Artec QTB gain boost so I can match pickup output levels onboard.

I am really, really happy with this one :)

This thing looks awesome. I almost missed that pickup under the bridge too.
 
Got a new guitar teacher this year (former instructor just moved). It's interesting to see totally different approaches to gear. My previous instructor was all about traditional pedals, tube amps, and was usually pulling a Fender or PRS off the wall for the day.

New instructor had a Strandberg, Headrush MX5, and Headrush FRFR.
I will say, for teaching and gigging I REALLY see the appeal to the modern approach. He was so quickly able to pull up any sound we talked about. And honestly, he could probably pull all the gear from his trunk to the lesson room in one quick trip. Just a random thought to see two totally different approaches to the craft. It'll be interesting to discuss it more over time.

P-Rails with triple-shot pickup rings for series, parallel, P90, and single coil options. Middle pickup is an Antiquity 90 bridge pickup.

Each pickup has on-off switches, and there is a Jaguar style tone cut switch. The behind-the-bridge pickup is activated and volume controlled with its own push-pull pot.

Between volume and tone knobs is a Boffin FX 3-tone switch for different capacitor options on the tone knob.

I am in love with this :)

Super cool!
 
Anyone here messed around with an HX One?

I’m considering downsizing my pedalboard and using of these as a catchall between the other pedals that will carry over. My goal is 4 pedals to cover almost everything.

Anyone have any experience with Carvin/Kiesel guitars?

I've always wanted to get one, the ability to pick and choose all the details is rad, to me.

I just purchased a Kiesel Craig Chaquico Signature model - they were running a Father’s Day weekend discount for “in stocks” and just happened to have one of these in stock. I have wanted one for years - have not figured out what combination of effects Chaquico uses for his New Age work yet. If it is his fingers, I may be out of luck. Bought a Blackstar Sonnet 120 to use with it and the tone is excellent with this guitar. Fit and finish are exemplary with only one thing I can pick at - the action is a touch too low. It is too easy to “buzz” the low E and A strings. I have an “unfinished” saddle that I have not got around to sanding to a better height yet. Definitely a keeper guitar!

After taking a few years off from playing.... I'm back! Dug the guitar and pedalboard out of the basement.

Has anyone ever used Amplitube? I love playing around with pedals but kind of tempted to get an interface just to mess around with it. Probably would just start with the free version to get a feel.
