Two magnetic pickups plus a piezo transducer under the bridge, each switchable to one of two circuits - one incorporating the tone and volume controls and one that just runs straight out through a jack.It's kind of a testbed for several experimental ideas.

Thanks Norm. This is my most complex guitar yet and I only finished it at about 10pm the night before the West Brom fest so there's been a certain amount of nervous stress involved.
I'm pleased with the build quality I achieved but it still needs a bit of sorting out before I'll be happy with it. I find that getting a guitar set up right, ironing out minor snags and finding the tunings that are best for it is a process that takes a little time.
I think this one's as complicated as I want to get for the time being. The next one will probably be something very simple and crude to get me back in touch with the classic virtue of simplicity so characteristic of both CBGs and old punks like me.
