This is one of the first guitars that I built and is a great sounding and feeling guitar. I was trying out a few things with this guitar when I built it including the inlays which are actually made of clay. The guitar is great and really versatile. The pickups on this guitar are both active EMGs (85 neck and 81 bridge) with a master tone and volume control along with a 3-way toggle switch. It's realistically set up for heavy metal, but as I said it will sound great whatever style you're playing. Gotoh Bridge, tailpiece and tuners. EMG solderless controls inside with a switchcraft output. Please get in touch if you have any questions. I do build custom guitars too so if you're looking for something to be custom made have a look at the website at Shawguitars.co.uk and use the guitar builder to see the difference options available.
