The master luthier Andrew Drake comes through big time

[Poobini]

most important question nobody has asked yet: how can we source the knobs?!

Build time was 4 ish months I think, but I live like half an hour from him which probably helped speed things up haha.

1.5” nut width

Very close to Wal tone imo after dialing in the preamp

Don’t want to comment on price, but only because I don’t want to step on Drake’s toes regarding quotes and whatnot. Additionally, I provided the electronics, so that affected price and such.

I’ll say it was worth every single penny!

4 months is crazy short for a custom like that.

I'm curious too! I also just noticed the little knob position indicators inlaid into the top - very cool detail!

Knobs and position markers are both very Wal-esque! Lusithand makes similar knobs (along with a similar filter-based preamp--filter pre's are much easier use on the fly with numbered knobs!), but I don't think they're exactly the same: Lusithand knobs - Lusithand Devices

They were 3D printed by a guy I met on Basschat!

Here's a link to his profile where you can message him to get some
