It is a multiscale instrument 28"-25" tuned G/C/F on the bass side and C/F/B flat on the guitar side.
Given that I am a bassplayer, I made it so it is wider on both nut and bridge end (nut is 8mm string spacing, bridge 13mm).
Currently has flatwound shortscale bass strings (100-80-65), and regular guitar strings (36-26-17), the 17 is a plain string, are there guitar string sets with a wound 17? I think that would be more comfortable when playing.
The neck is a single piece of quartersawn maple, with a ebony fretboard, a hybrid (titanium/steel) trussrod and two carbon rods (CF kite rods).
Tuners are regular guitar tuners for the guitar end, and kluson small bass tuners (you can only get these in nickel, and only in 2L+2R, so I still have some tuners left
).Body is sapeli, so not particularly light (whole instrument is 4kg). Pickups are cigar box pickups from Amazon/Aliexpress/China, they are sounding just fine, bass end has the precision growl, and the guitar end sounds beefy. Two outputs (simple passive volume, 500k LOG pots).
The bridge is also a China variant, I was planning on using the Hipshot Solo, but I actually liked the look of the chinese version better. Very little documentation though, plan was string through for the bass strings, anchored on the bridge for the guitar strings. But that didn't work, this bridge is only suitable for string through (despite some ball end hooking geometry which you need to rout into the body, clearly not thought through).

Hybrid6 rear by J V, on FlickrI am going to do buffers for both pickups, hence the battery cover, but I am not missing it actually, so I'll leave it as is for now. Guitar strings need the bushings for string through, but I'll do that when I change the strings.
I'll add the drawing too, I used a Telecaster outline as a base (obviously), but it is 3% larger because of the bigger neck.
