MKB Viper Album
I've done as much damage as I can do. The Pup is hooked directly to the Jack and it actually works, ready for your electronics. |

| I hate lots of knobs and switches.
I would put one volume knob,heavy metal construction,classy looking and really works.
kinda like the Viper 1,but less.
Less is more. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | It will have a vol and tone with a knife switch that will actually be controlling the 5 usuable positions of a Moser (BC Rich) Varitone circuit.
My Moser Genesis has this setup.... actually it has a lot more, but when it comes down to it, what I end up using most is the bridge pickup, vol/tone and the varitone switch. This is a streamlined version. The Carvin M-22 is my favorite pickup so there may be a single-dual toggle, but I'm thinking just gonna let it go as a full-on humbucker.
The other choice was a DiMarzio X2N. The neck, pickup, and bridge were all at one time on my original Viper project guitar that I gigged for many years.
I haven't seen the bill yet for this... but I have a feeling I better be sitting down. This is just too awesome for words... Great Job!!! I can't wait to play it !!!! |

There is only one knob needed, that who wears the strap. |

Beer maybe, but no bill...
While I like the idea of the Vol/Tone/Knife Switch Varitone consider wiring all of these into a foot pedal and just running pure, unadulterated and totally organic signal. Using a Stereo jack the Ring could activate Coil wires...
There may even be an App for that!
Anyway, the SEG that I believe you are wearing is all I need.

Each "tab" locks two strings. Very handy for stringing (no tools required) and for staying in tune. Once the guitar is "in tune" you just make fine adjustments (which on a Kahler are at least a full step) with the knobs on the bridge. |
