Oh, my God, that's my ex-guitar! I don't want to give away the serial number as proof, but the serial number does have a 1 in it. Check it out. That's my former guitar!
The guitar was thee worst guitar ever made.
- The three pickups are fakes. No wires are attached to them.
- The wood is particle board (and there were termite trails on the inside of the guitar).
- The knobs were wired incorrectly -- when I turned them they made the lights in my house get brighter or get dimmer.
- The nut only has room for four strings.
- The pickup selector switch is made of flint and sparks every time you flick it (I had to put out fires every time I switched pickups!).
Guitar from hell so I sold it.

Yes. Haven't you heard that some guitars come with flint selector switches that when flicked can start fires? Ever see THE TOWERING INFERNO? That fire was started by a Rickenbacker with a flint pickup selector switch.

[Sigh!] Oh, well!
Great looking guitar. If you get tired of the neck and middle pickup sound together, you can always modify the wiring.

And don't let anybody fool you: those termite traces add immeasureable mojo to the guitar!
