The obvious way to wire a switch would be off/on/tapped for each pickup but then one of the 27 is off/off/off. That's usable, but not really a tone. And reading further, a longer scale length so you can easily bend heavier strings without hand fatigue? Sure he didn't get this backwards and want a Jaguar or Byrdland scale length? "Next I wanted to have the scale length be longer then the standard Gibson, so I created a Fender scale (25 ½ inch) on a Gibson style frame. This would afford the player the opportunity to use heavier gauge strings without the hand fatigue that we incessant pickers tend to experience. Also this would make bending strings more pleasurable." 3^3 = 27

I mean, I know what it means, but I don’t know how you’d counts 27 tones for one guitar. Why not 29? 25? Sounds made up to me. Nonetheless, this is a ES-335 style guitar with three P-90s, like Troy van Leeuwen’s signature Yamaha. Looks like it’ll rock. -Petey [...] [...] Electric Guitar Review: Eastwood Produces Guitar With 27 Useable Tones I don’t know what “27 Tones” mean.
