No words, simply amazed.

Can you activate all three PUs at once? Totally cool and beautiful.
I'll be at Gerstle's June 23, no problem to help break it in

The 3 way switch is traditional bridge, bridge/neck, neck. The knobs are bridge/neck volume, middle volume and push pull master tone/humbucker split. This configuration gives me the ability to switch/dial into any combo of the 3 pickups.
Unfortunately I'll be out of town on the 23rd, so won't be able to come to your show, @BoogieMKIIA

So, you cannot get the middle p90 by itself?
Or if you turn off both neck and bridge volumes and crank the middle volume, you can get the mid p90 by itself no matter where the switch is…?
Correct, I can get the middle pickup by itself by turning down the 1st volume knob and cranking the middle knob
I thought so based on the shape. Looks like a great bridge, intonatable wraparound. Would love to hear your thoughts after the honeymoon period is over.
My picture skills suck, but here are a few more.
Suffice it to say that Mike exceeded my expectation with this build. I wouldn't say it's highly customized as the inlays, headstock and body shape is standard for him. But he did work with me with my desired pickup configuration and switching along with the hardware. He also let me pick out the maple top from a variety of planks he had on hand. And while it's difficult to visualize what the final product will look like from an unfinished blank, I couldn't be happier with the look, it's exactly what I like in a maple top. There are a lot of different tones that can be pulled out, some quite strat-like. It goes without saying that the fit & finish are off the charts.
At some point, I will get the pics Mike took before shipping, and I'll share those as well as I'm sure the quality will be worlds better than these.

It is a Schroeder stop tail bridge, in aged nickel. Mike sourced it for me, I believe he got it new.
Here is #108 with the siblings, #0011 and #0072.
