Here's the demo, excuse the shit playing and horrible iphone camera quality...

You get the point.

That guitar is a beast. I love how many original ideas you brought into the design. 10k Neck and 13K Bridge is insane output. My Jagmaster with JM pups was 8.4K in the neck and 9.4K in the bridge. I love the color especially with the matching headstock. The Aen-Rhythm circuit was a masterful idea as was the strangle switch. Teh Kurtz switch and Bronco knobs are also a nice touch. This guitar could inspire a craze. I planned on building a Jazzmaster down the road, but this guitar makes me have to rethink if something like this would be better. Great Job.

Your first video demo? Sounds good Ends and you're playing wasn't that bad. I really want Jazzmaster pickups for my Jaguar now.

You guys are too kind.

Not gonna lie, the guitar came out great... I just wish I was a little better at displaying it's prowess.

I aprove 100% of everything in this video. Mig 50, Internet, Rosewood...

I think you did a terrific job putting this thing together.
Love the pickups (thanks for showcasing them, had been curious about them for a while.)
Oscillation circuit sounds like it'll actually be very useable, too!

Mig 60

Oh, right... I think I just want you to have a 50...

I'll back any MIG, though.

...Except F5-Tigers aka "Mig 28s" those can fuck right the hell off.
I mean, they killed Goose.

You'd be amazed actually.

It interacts very well with pedals and is very easy to adjust while playing. I'm extremely happy with it.

I want me to have a mig 50 to.

There's one in the classified too...

The self oscillation feature is really neat, like it!

That's great! I really like oscillation effects but with most* of the pedals I've had sofar, it's always difficult to get the guitar signal to interact with the effect in a balanced kind of way, if at all. It seems it's always either atari sounding guitar, full on spaceship sounds with no guitar or dry signal faintly audible under a ton of hiss and screetching. Your circuit is bending the oscillation gender, it seems.

*It took me a while but I've managed to corral TGD into filling my oscillation needs.

Cool. I like that a lot.

Great stuff Ends. Love the sound of those pickups.

That turned out great.

Looks great, sounds great. <3 it!

Sounds good ends you did a really good job. The rhythm circuit sounds cool and nice to see something different.
I'm a big fan of high output pickups and those sound good (I have a massive 21k bridge pup in my Jag

).

Way to go, Ends! A squillion tones and a Jag neck, it's almost too good to be true and I'm immensely happy for your creaturous acquisition. It may be just me and my earbuds listening on a highway bus, but it was curious to hear the sparkly mid position played clean with what sounded like 12-string harmonics going on, something I've yet to hear on my Jag. Loving the full tone of those hot singles, too!

A+

Love the Oscillation circuit stuff, maybe use a joystick type control on the next one
