It needed resizing, cutting and rerouting a bit as photographed. Although it's not perfectly done, it's pretty tidy and works very well. I created a black skirt in hinoki, for the pickups to cover the routs and give the pickup lugs anchoring to operate height adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controls are dual stacked pots for individual volume and tone, plus an original Aria Pro II three-way toggle switch for pickup selection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tone is of course like the SA70 but with a bit more focus as the body is solid, with a bit more tonal scope given the ability to mix your pickup volumes and tones to your taste, and a bit more sustain given the high mass bridge. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody: Basswood.
