That's a really awesome concept!
But those switches would make strumming hell :no:

I don't understand, it says no routing required. then how do you get those jaguar switches in? Sounds cool though.

It looks like a full on pre-wired pickguard.

Very cool idea, I'll admit sometimes my JM has very specific application, it would be nice to be able to use it for everything. But that's a lot of $$$

Looks sweet, but they might want to place the switches in a better spot. I bet you could ask them to change the placement.
Do you like listening to homemade music? Me too. Why don't you try one of mine?

Does not please us. Kind of cool, but a 4 way selector would do just as well for me. And for like $400... :poke:

:idk:
It's all practice. If you practice playing and not hitting switches you should be able to do it.
I used to always accidentally strum right through the five-way on my strat but now I can freak out and know exactly where things are.
I guess if yer a bedroom rocker or a studio/recording rocker as opposed to a live player, then it sounds awesome.
well i guess, but i just don't know.

I've always been a fan of JM's and this would be a really neat mod if I currently owned a RI because I would never mod a vintage one but cool idea none the less!

I'm sceptical of how different the various parts of the coil really are. It just seems like a four step volume control.

As for strumming, well, if you hit one of the switches ON, your signal is just going to get a bit louder, which is less of a hassle than hitting a strangle switch on a jag.

Not sure about the placement of the switches either...but I wonder if this is based on the Marauder at all?

Also, Novak's got a JM-180 that is two P-90s that I guess can be controlled by the rhythm switch...intriguing.
