This creation emerged in the UK. When you're using thin Formica for your instrument's body—and you want it to have its own traffic lights—you've got to build yourself someplace to put the electronics, so the intrepid Beswick bolted some metal housings and an extra Formica shelf to the top and added knobs anywhere he could. He used a Hofner guitar pickup and three built-in cables. The black one is for the pickup; the clear one powers the lights; and the white one ... I can't tell you what the white one does.
     I think it's safe to say this is the weirdest e-mando I have yet encountered. And considering the company I keep, that's saying something.
