And pickups.

Is there a doubleneck version?

 

[dreadnut]

That's just sick and wrong! You gonna play it, or just twiddle with the knobs?

 

[SFIV1967]

And pickups.

4 pickups ! Unbelievable...

Perfect

Clearly too much guitar for you.

 

[GGJaguar]

4 pickups ! Unbelievable...

But only 19 (maybe 20?) frets!

Doubles as a weapon... or grain harvesting tool.

Looking at the control layout I bet it's actually pretty simple. Four on/off switches (possibly on/off/phase), and four vol/tone knobs. Couldn't be simpler!

 

[The Guilds of Grot]

Here's another way to do four pick-ups.

 

[fronobulax]

Jack Casady's Guilds have fewer knobs so you can look for them yourself

And pickups.

What must this thing weigh? 20 pounds or so?

I bet the magnet pull from 4 humbuckers is impressive, too!

 

[Nuuska]

Here's another way to do four pick-ups.

With 4 humbuckers = 8 single coils - perhaps easiest wiring would be a rotary 15-position pickup selector + Volume + Tone.

Top single - top humbucker - second single - second humbucker ( consisting of single coils 2+3 ) - third single - and so on.

Well - I correct my phrasing - not the easiest WIRING - but easiest button count with max combinations.

Or one could connect them to 10 different humbuckers + 8 singlecoils + HB/SC-switch + Vol + Tone

And after all this - how many REALLY different sounds could be achieved?

BC Rich in 80:s comes to mind . . . so many knobs - not so many sounds.

Let's not forget JJ Cale's $50 Harmony that he modified himself and recorded countless songs with.

 

[Brad Little]

4 pickups ! Unbelievable...

Maybe designed for Quadrophenia?

It may control lighting and PA system as well.
