Budda Blues Guitar

This model was designed and developed in close relationship with Budda Guedes, Portuguese musician, and it’s something rather unique. It has an array of options that give the player a colorful palette of tones.

There is one slidding switch that overrides the 6 way switch to give the bridge and neck pickups in out-of-phase, going through a blend pot. There is a slidding switch to cycle between 2 options of treble bleeds.

Past versions had a sliding switch for the bridge and middle in series or parallel, but future versions will come with a switch to give bridge plus neck, overriding the 6 way switch and going through a second blend pot.
