KEY DETAILS

Richard’s modern singlecut is fitted with Gotoh 510 locking tuners and boasts tons of tonal clout thanks to matched neck and bridge Bare Knuckle Black Hawk humbuckers with coil-splitting, Schaller Hannes Piezo bridge (and Flagship preamp and piezo volume/ blender), five-way Schaller Megaswitch and stereo jack, three-way pickup selector switch governed by one 500k push-push tone pot, and a Seymour Duncan Liberator 500k volume pot. Richard wanted every internal electronic component to be removable and, as far as possible, solderless. The guitar body has been constructed as a sandwich. Front and back panels clip together with poppers. This avoids having to provide any access-panels or screws showing on the back. The pickups and strings are internally mounted so no screws, plastic panels or pickup rings are visible externally.
