GearGossip review on YouTube:

Mahogany body, Maple neck w/Ebony fingerboard.  Sustainiac circuit driven by a Bartolini humbucker in the bridge with a 'BoneTop' P-90 in the middle.  A military-grade kill switch below the P-90 can be used for staccato effects.  Hipshot tremolo and Sperzel tuners.  The 6-way switch behind the bridge allows for the standard 5 positions plus a neck&bridge position.

Swamp Ash back, flame Maple neck w/ Rosewood fingerboard.  2 BoneTop P-90 style pickups, hipshot through-the body bridge, vintage style Gotoh tuners.

Three vintage clear-bobbin Gibson P-90's and two vintage Ford hood ornaments set the tone for this guitar. The 3-way switch operates the neck and bridge pickups, while the pot on the upper bout dials in the middle pickup, thus allowing a wide variety of tonal colors.  The body is Korina with flame Maple and Purpleheart accents.  The red theme is carried through to the fingerboard made of Bloodwood.

Swamp Ash body w/Maple nack.  Lollar Imperial humbucker in the bridge and Sustainiac in the neck position.  Graph-Tech piezos in the Hipshot tremolo.
