Nice zebrawood on that one... front and back. 


The finishing 'cup' washer where a strap button would go is a nice touch... I suppose it was just put there as a place-holder instead of having vacant screw hole? I'd rather have a strap button there, but I guess if you never played it on a strap... and didn't want something poking outta' there... that's a solution. I like it. Wish I could play one.

That is really pretty!    What about that rear plate?!?

Woah! I didn't even catch that. Big Oopsie with the router? How about the pickup selector switch Michael? You seen one like that?

The specs state a 25.5” scale.  An “MSG” is a medium scale guitar, 24.75”.   And that is about the biggest rear plate I’ve seen!

The pickup selector switch is the stock pointer switch, but all of plastic is broken away.    That is what is under the pointy plastic piece.    I actually like that.   I like it so much, I ordered the pointless ones from Alembic.

Magnifying it, the PU selector knob looks like a hunk of brass with a point, which is turned 180°, facing down, like many of us have done.   So if I break the plastic off of my original 1976 plastic pointer knob, it will have the brass pointer knob inside?

No, it is aluminum on the inside.

It may be my tiny little mobile dumbphone screen, but the the switch button looks like a caramel colored plastic pointer, over the aluminum knob. Might be ordinary... I just can't recall another.
