that neck gives me grateful dead fan vibes..... but not the silicon valley type, the "i lived in a van till 2006" kind

Individual volume and tone for each coil of each pickup, plus a boost, plus some built in effect pedal, plus on/off/series/phase switches?

But were the pickups in a fire or have they been painted with fricking oil paint by Monet himself?

That is amazing, almost worth buying just to try and find out what everthing does.

Reminds me of a pedal in the early days of the internet where the apparent intent was to have as many knobs as possible on it. Unfortunately I cant remember what it was called.

*takes a look at the listing* well this is awful *reads who's selling it* OHHHH NOW IT MAKES SENSE

basically i've seen this dude try to sell some of the ugliest, guitars ever as "art pieces"

tbh i think i might have worked on one a few years ago, i dunno if this was a guitar he did. but i think there's a chance it was (maybe like 15% chance)

Nothing says steampunk quite like an SMD PCB with CE markings...

PIPING CAREFULLY DONE HAS BEEN ADDED TO FRONT OF BODY, LIKE. AN ENGINE OVER HEAD ON THOSE HOT RODS CARS
ZIP HAS BEEN PLACED ON FRONT AND IS OPEN TO SHOW ELECTRONIC BOARD THAT'S BEEN DONE SO LIKE A ROBOTIC GUITAROID AND SHOWING IT'S INTERNAL BODY
...well, the seller seems to have a sketchy grasp of what steampunk is, but they sure make up for it WITH SHEER ENTHUSIASM!!

„Over 60h of work“ and a price that dropped from 1200 to 250€.
"500€? That's the price of a J Mascis Jazzmaster!"
