That Sophia Trem is what intrigues me. Damn the whole guitar does. I probably would want to commission one except at this point to lay out this kind of money I would probably have to seriously think about letting go of some guitars. I should add the prices seem very fair for the apparent level of quality. I bookmarked the site. Honestly, it would probably only be about an 8 hr drive to the location from where I live. It would be nice to actually sit down and play one.

I commissioned a close friend of mine to build me a guitar from his recent new line of instruments His website is here. I thought you guys would appreciate it.

Specs go as follows:
-25.5" scale
-Spanish Cedar Core sandwiched between flame maple
-24 stainless medium jumbo frets
-Hipshot open gear locking tuners
-Graphtech nut
-Birdseye maple fretboard
-Roasted maple neck
-Compound radius fretboard
-4A Flame maple top and back
-Sophia 2:22 Trem
-Fishman fluence Classic pickups
-Luminlay side dots
-Ebony wood insert fretboard dots
-5 way super switch with some clever routing with a push pull tone
-Custom fabricated powder coated metal cavity cover
-Satin Jade Green Burst painted by Pat Wilkins

5 way operates like:
1 - Bridge voice 1 (pull for voice 3 Inner Coil)
2 - Bridge voice 1 (pull for voice 3 Inner Coil) / Neck Voice 3 Inner Coil
3 - Bridge voice 1 (pull for voice 3 Inner Coil) / Neck Voice 1
4 - Neck Voice 3 Outer Coil
5 - Neck Voice 1
( i wasnt a fan of voice 2 of the neck at all. and voice 2 of the bridge is great but flipping between them is a pretty drastic change in volume with how aggressive it is in comparison. I may either add voice 2 to a push pull on the volume, or install a mini toggle one day)

This one... OP.
 
That is a beauty wow 👌. Congratulations with that one. And that trem looks so solid and stable.

About the Fishmens.
There are more options to add with Push/Pull, If you are in the USA you could buy 25k Push/Push pots from Ernie Ball (just because you can and those european guys can not) and add Coil tap -> on Active PU'S and sounds great
Also switched the volume control in my guitar. I dont get this configuration why you would place it in the opposite from the PU'S...

Works great, had this configuration with the fluence modern in one of my guitars.

I use a push pull on the tone for toggling the voice 3 on the bridge. I dont use voice 2 on anything honestly. I did just order a EB 25k push push pot since thats always been my preference. Hopefully they dont fail like the typical 500k and 250k chinese amazon stuff. Ive never found a reputable company that creates push push.
 
Justin makes beautiful guitars. I tried to talk him into building a set neck for me and he wouldn't go for it. I need to sit down and play one of the completed ones but I'm super happy with my McCarty's right now.
