This is a pre-order for this guitar to be built and shipped to you within 28 days. You can order it as-is, or request any upgrades or modifications prior to your purchase.

This is 100% payment for this guitar. Guitar will ship after being built.

Estimated time of completion is 28 days. 90% of the time it ships on the 27th or 28th day. 8% of the time it ships earlier. 2% of the time it's late due to unforeseen delays. I will be available at all times for updates and keep you informed of early delivery or delays. Changes can be made before and during build so long as price and payment are agreed upon and completed.

The guitar that is pictured is one that has already been built and sold.  Color or wood grain may vary slightly from that in the picture. Binding may or may not be present. You are welcome to discuss with me prior to purchase and during the build if any of these factors are important to you. If there are any drastic differences, you will be notified.

**Drop in loaded pickguards are an option too. If you have one already in mind we can discuss prior to the sale.**

About the Wiring:
HSH with Autosplit in Positions 2 & 4 (Neck outside coil & bridge inside coil.)

This wiring setup gives you the Bridge pickup as a humbucker in Position 1, but as a single coil in Position 2. Similarly, the Neck pickup is a humbucker in Position 5, but a single coil in Position 4. Position 3 is the Middle pickup by itself.

A push-push tone pot gives the option of always having the Neck & Bridge pickups as single coils.

Position #4 is hum-cancelling whether push-push is up or down.
