Wellllll this doesn’t quite fit right. I think I can dremel out a little room near the jack hole to slot this in sideways, but I might just go with a straight switch.

You’re the marketing guy, surely you have a pitch I mean have you recorded a Set Neck vs Bolt On video? Gibson vs Warmoth? How about a video comparing the various chambering options? I bet you have years of video topics in the hole you need a Gibson reference for If all else fails say “Hodgo...

Thanks for this info. On an unrelated question, what do you think the answer is to “how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” Like… 2500 woods? 3500 woods? As I said totally unrelated

To be honest - they might be too rich for my blood as well for something that isn’t quite how I’d have spec’d it - particularly the pickup choices and the inlays. There is a price point where that compromise would be intolerable for me. But I’m absolutely in love with the Northern Lights over...

You’re right I need to cut the carp

With baited breath

I think we could dip both our Esquires into a river and attract a whole bunch of fish

Looks familiar 🤘

That’s what I would do but I think that would preclude using a typical Switchcraft. A large bat NKK DPDT or similar switch could pull that off.
