I prefer to have two Cheyennes, one with the pickups closer to the neck, the other with the pickups closer to the bridge.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

How about a doubleneck with the two different pickups locations available at all times. :!:

The other one could be an 8 string.
