What do you think of this as a design ?

Been playing about with various photoshop designs for a while now, and getting itchy fingers to maybe have something built.

Came up with this:

Probably add a strat neck pickup as well...

Very dig-able

Why not put the switch around the control plate? I'd hit that thing all the time.

That looks fucking brilliant. I'm not keen on the string-thru body ferrules but I guess I can just draw little penises next to them so it looks like they're having 6 wees and that'll make it cooler.
I'd have the switch on the top horn in a rhythm circuit switch position really, but it's ok down there too, sorta Jazzmaster/Duo-Sonicky. Everything else is all go.

I'd buy one, if it wasn't string through, or if the string though was like tele style.

I'd buy it if it was string-through, and mod it to non-string-through, remove the strat neck pickup and probably do other mods.

But it's a cool body shape, I like how it has the Jaguar bass cutaway.

Do like. Would think it would be better with a vista Musicmaster bridge though.

I'm with you, Noirie. Nice and clean.

...or maybe a wrap-around stoptail?

Powertrons with coil spilt on the above would be a great all-around hard rocker, and a bit of an improvement (albeit apples and oranges) in my book from another single Powertron screamer, the mildly illogical fireball punk box a.k.a 24.6" scale Gretsch G6119-1959.

I really dig it, string-thu and all.

Would like in different color and shape. And knobs. JK.

The lone pickup is compelling. What would you call it?
