We've all seen the multiband EQ's on acoustic electrics; I was looking at this site and suddenly thought Why Not? Picture a Strat with the standard switch and this EQ box in place of the volume and tone pots (it has it's own volume plus a chromatic tuner). Makes you go "hmmmmmm...." www.guitarimports.com/eq-adds-age.htm#AGE-TNadded: Also realized there may be an input impedance issue since these are designed for piezo pickups. Ok, next try - use the guts of a Boss GE-7 eq or similar, mount with just the sliders up through the pickguard. Just a thought but I like graphic eq's because you can "see" your tone curve - if it was on the guitar you wouldn't have to change eq with your toes (ha).

In the description for the one with the chorus built in: "Rich, Sweet and Melrose sound..." I was all set to make bad jokes about that being somewhere between "mellow" and "morose," or maybe originating in a place near Boston (or the UK), but a little Googling . . . "The Melrose sound dominated Chicago blues before World War II . . ." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_MelroseAnyway, that's an interesting idea. Metric stuff gives me a headache, so I found an online converter. The dimensions are (approximately) 2.44" wide, 3.92" high, and 1.85" deep. Haven't plotted that out yet to see where (besides where the standard controls are) it might fit on a Strat body. I don't quite grasp the "2.5 mm Mono Jack" input. (AKA 1/8" phono, right?) Seems like there'd be some wiring to do in order to get signal to the EQ so it could work its magic, so "plain" wires might be handier than a jack. Having its own ¼" output jack makes sense. Also not sure how that built-in volume control, probably a slider like the tone controls, would work out as a replacement for the stock volume pot. (Resistance value, etc.) Maybe it could be bypassed or somehow used together with the stock control(s). Hmmmm.
