This guitar was custom ordered by Roine Stolt of The Flower Kings. It is the first JET to feature the ultra-sophisticated Skyway
tremolo bridge - (there are only 3 Skyway equipped JET's in existence). Unfortunately, Roine stipulated a piezo system and the piezo
saddles are still under development. When it became clear that missed deadlines were becoming too routine, a second JET was started
using a Hipshot bridge equipped with Graph Tech saddles. The original shown here is for sale and is completely functional except
there is no piezo. However it is ready for a drop-in retrofit when it becomes available, all the wiring is already done. The "magnetic"
circuit features a unique wiring scheme to provide virtually any tone from the out-of-phase pickups.
The controls are Master Volume, Blend, 15-position Tone Styler, and Piezo Volume (not connected). Switches are Piezo/Mag (upper bout),
Bridge Pickup Blow, and (2) 3 position pickup coil switches that give series, parallel or single coil.
This guitar is currently strung 049-011 and tuned down 1 wholestep, but I can set it up differently if you like.
The only other personal touch is "RS" inlaid at the 12th fret. If you so desire I will change this inlay to 2 letters of your
choice for only $50 before shipping. The rather unflattering picture of Roine shows both guitars on the day they were exchanged.
