Such a simple shape and the instrument is built out in an elegant simplicity. I bet it sounds really good.

Very pleasing to the eye! Looks like it could be slightly neck heavy sitting on the leg though; how is it in that regard? Does it have a standard Tele headstock?

Just an idea, a stacked hum pup and some creative switching would give a variety of tones…

Thanks Marc! Marc Why Group? Dude you can play!
I first wired the switch like an esquire. 1 postion had the PU going straight to the jack the 2nd position PU with tone knob added and 3rd position was vol and tone add uf cap. Did not really work for me. So I just wired it to the vol and tone and the switch acts as a kill switch in one of the postions, kind of cool, you can turn the guitar off. No piezo.
I don’t have any sound clips yet. It sounds like a tele, IMO.
It sounds surprising like my tele swamp ash body with this same neck. Got me thinking the neck may just be the biggest factor in a solid body guitars over all tone/sound…..?

Glen, Thanks so much for your comments! As you noted, the strap button can be placed at one or the other locations no problem. It was someting I decided to do when I added the hardware. Just went with it, I may drill a hole before adding finish?

Very cool!
What’s the pickup switch for? Is there a piezo in the bridge or something?
Sound clips!

That’s really very NICE with a most pleasing guitar shape, to the ergonomic eye… I think the strap button would be better on the tip of the horn as per usual, you’ll notice in either position , that location lines up perfectly with the players shoulder… very ergo…
Sorry to be so picky , but even on an ergo guitar we use a strap to make everything more “steady”…
