This guitar was built around a joke...

The idea of this guitar was take everything from 90's guys guitar preferences and run with it. The neck is a 59’ profile of flame maple with a Macassar Ebony. Mike McCready had a Sig 59 LP so that’s who I credit this part to, plus the 59 LP known for being the "best" feeling guitar in the world so how could I go wrong? The trem setup is the same as Jerry Cantrells with the Kahler and Floyd locking nut. The body is obviously Kurt Cobain's kitbash of the Mustang and Jaguar. Pickups are a DiMarzio BC-1 in the neck and the bridge is a Rail Hammer Corgan... because it's not the first time Corgan was in something that was Cobain's. Pots wise its a bass and treble cut circuit with a volume. The two top toggles taps the neck to a single coil, the bridge flips phase and middle is off. Then the lower toggle is just pickup selector.

That's not a joke ... that came out great! I like how Cobain designed it, but it was really you!

Thanks! I'm really happy with it. Got to give credit to the one that did it. Its to bad he didn't get more time with it.

This was my second attempt at the set up. The first build got stolen a year after I saved it from the house fire... My luck was doing great for me! It though wasn't a great guitar to use. All maple body and neck were a bad idea. All said and done it was around 15lbs. I didn't have a proper pickup selector, it was just the two 3-way switches and all I can say is never again like that! lol

You should have put a Lollar'tron Humbucker in the bridge for Chris Cornell. Otherwise, awesome build!
