Hi Mica, I spoke to Susan on Saturday about switching to series II electronics. Please let me know if this can be done. If so, i would like the master volume control location to be similar to a strat. I like to adjust volume with my little finger. Also, I want to order custom knobs and until I know about I/II status, I don't know what to order. I emailed a custom logo to Susan. if the Skyway trem could have a 5" arm, and a larger diameter I would be pleased. Thanks for your attention! John |

I'll be looking at the control layout for you along with the side jacks. The drilling for the controls is on hold, and I've got a message over to Rick at Skyway regarding the tremolo. |

OK, to start the control layout, is this about where you want the master volume to land?

Hard to tell without the bridge.. Maybe to the left 1 or 2 mm and down 1 or 2 mm. Can you photoshop a bridge on it? Thanks! Truly Tremendous TriO |

Here's the control layout: The knobs are just placed by eye in the picture for a rough idea. When we drill, we'll actually measure and keep things parallel sorta like this: See how bad my eyes are? |

Awesome Buckeye Burl top! What will the back have? Inquiring minds want to know. |

There are letters and numbers in the pickup routes. What is the meaning? |

Given its proximity to my instrument's assignment from late last year, I'd guess 14877 will be this one's serial number. |

Yes, that sounds right. But what is the other one? It looks like it could be either JZS or JRS. What it is? |

The number is the work order number: they don't get a serial number until they're completed. Only a guess, but the letters might be your initials? (judging by your screen name) |

I think the initials are the person who carved the body. |

Anybody know who did the carving? What are the letters? It's difficult to read in these pictures. Please, any help? |

Jack carved your guitar. Got the Skyway! So now I can confirm the placement of the controls in context with the trem. |
