Just lists body shape as a Custom feature, but I declare that looks like the old Distillate guitar body to me! Maybe rounder around the lower bout? Nice score there, Rob.
The numbers thing went off in my head... it's made 99 numbers before my bass.

I was thinking Distillate at first too, but I’m now thinking it is a slightly customized shape. The rounder bottom, longer lower horn, and slightly different shapes in the curvatures along the top and body edges, different curves between horns and neck, make me think it’s more like what Bill suggested, small body SC shape with an extended upper horn. I’ll know more when it arrives and I can get a closer look. I’ll compare it to my SC bodied bass as well. Maybe a cross between a Distillate and SC. Pretty excited to check it out! Maybe Mica can shed some light on this
Thanks!

Got the OBEL cable and tried it today, works great, and I can confirm that the toggle switch in the up position is the off setting. I use Velcro straps to bind the two cables together so that they act like one pretty much. I only use a coupe of pedals (reverb, overdrive, and wha mostly), so now I’ll get a nice compact pedal board and I’ll be in business. The OBEL is not for everyone, but I like it. This is a cool little guitar!
