DETAILS & SPECS
- LOG’s steel top comes in ‘Pop Lilac’ powder coat, paired with a raw industrial-finish stainless steel back. It has a 570mm (22.5″) scale length and has six strings (.058–.013). It works beautifully with E or D tunings and the common A6 tuning. Total weight is 2.3kg (5 lbs). Each LOG ships with a tuning key, an A3 art print with a curated tuning chart on the back, and a foam-padded cardboard box.
LOG comes with one pickup: the Magnet Mount LOG custom. A second can be added at or after the time of ordering.
It’s custom fit to exactly meet the needs for LOG. It has a rough texture and rippled sides for maximum grip. Inside is a single coil based on my SCII model, but slightly hotter (7k vs. 6k windings). When two pickups are ordered, I wind them as a humbucking pair (RWRP).
Each pickup features a thick steel baseplate to minimize magnetic interference with the fret markings and reduce body resonance and magnetic friction* (*compared to my regular pickups). LOG handles high gain without creating immediate feedback. If you already own some of my other pickups: They are all compatible, though with some minor compromises due to the different use case.
- The headstock is made from high-density beech plywood, finished with Linolie DK linseed oil paint. It carries six nickel-plated GEWA harp tuners (5.0mm), and the tuning key is clip-mounted inside LOG for easy access.
- LOG comes with one custom single coil pickup — the Magnet Mount LOG CUSTOM — magnetically mounted for free movement along the body. It features two SMB pickup inputs and a switchable mono/stereo output, controlled by a three-way switch for A, AB, or B configuration, which also enables stereo inversion and mono mix.
