andy,

>you mind telling me about it?

i play (2 different, custom) TESLA model gtrs, made by ULLI TEUFFEL;
one is glow-in-the-dark green, one is charcoal.

the green one: birdseye maple (1-piece) neck, alder body.
the charcoal one: birdseye maple neck, ebony fingerboard, alder body w/ash 
'wedge' in the neck running from the body-join to the bridge.

both instruments are:
'headless' 25.5 inch scale-length, w/gibson string-spacing and Steinberger 
TransTrem bridges.
each has:
a) 2 passive pickups, made by ulli teuffel:
green: strat-type at neck, warm humbucker at bridge
charcoal: p-90 type at neck, overwound humbucker at bridge
b) 2 microphones, each w/an attendant momentary switch (and, microphone # 2 
has a fixed toggle switch, as well):
mic #1: face-mounted (visible) salt-shaker
mic #2: internally-mounted under neck pickup (green gtr) and bridge pickup 
(charcoal gtr)
c) one (normal guitar) output
d) one input, w/an attendant momentary switch
e) 1 volume and 1 tone control
f) a momentary 60-cycle hum switch, w/an attendant momentary switch
g) a momentary on/off switch
h) pickup selector

*all* the momentary switches are the 'wafer'-type (some split in half) that 
ulli has designed/integrated as flush-mounting in the guitar's faces.

these two instruments sound very different from each other; both are 
*wonderful*, responsive..... and suitably wackassed.....

i use them both w/logic, btw.....
*-))

best,
