Wow...this one is like a steampunk work of art!

Nice industrial look. Reminds me of my 2nd electric guitar. Had 4 knobs and 6 slider switches. Fun trying to figure out which one did what. Now it’s two tone, one volume and a 3/5 position switch.

A long time ago, in a band far, far away, a friend had one of the original LP Recordings, and it was the second heaviest guitar I ever played, after this friend's Travis Beam! Incredibly low noise and clear tone, but very low output, even when switched into "Hi Z mode," made it hard to overdrive an amp. On the other hand, it could sound amazingly NOT like a Les Paul, like a strat or even Rickenbacker while playing "clean."
