Routed pick up?????

Maybe it was a 4001s and modified.

Also, is that a split bridge, or a reflection????

I think that is Jaymi's old 4000. He said it played great but there were concerns about neck integrity due to some extra routing. I believe he said he only owned it for a short time and traded it in for something else.

That is, if I remember correctly.....

I think you're correct Brian, I recall talking to Jaymi and him mentioning that he'd sent the 4000 back because the neck was "iffy", that being said, the Swami's description is a little ambitious !!!
