CSM posted:You know good times are ahead when you start a band and the bass player shows up with one of these: I bought this beast from a guy on Craigslist last year.     The strings are standard strings, fed from the top of the neck to standard tuners on the body. Given the scale of the thing, I think it has a standard 6 string guitar neck on it. The neck and body almost appear to be one piece, since there's a really heavy coat of black lacquer over the whole thing that is hiding the seams if there are any. I'm guessing that it was built from a kit or something. The electronics are all point-to-point wired on the inside, obviously put together by someone who knew how to solder. The only name on it is Schafer, which I've never heard of and can't find any info about. I'm putting some serious thought into turning it into a tenor guitar.

reallivedinosaur posted:It also gets you in the habit of hunching over your guitar and staring at the fretboard. Those fretlight guitars are bad for that too, it might be an advantage for the first few weeks, but after that it's hurting more than helping. I have an FG-100 or whatever the original model was. I don't think I've touched the drat thing in years since my Oscar Schmidt 335 clone plays a hell of a lot better.

This custom job showed up on a Facebook group I belong to. I personally don't like the paint job, especially on the back where it's going to get scuffed all to poo poo. That pickguard also doesn't seem to fit the motif. He is going to play it in a rockabilly band, so maybe it will look better with the matching classic C&W outfit and pompadour.Facebook User posted:This is a parts caster. It is a Fender US Tele body (ash), Warmoth Ultra neck, Fender locking tuners, Fender modern bridge plate, my Esquire wiring, custom wound pickup set, my aluminum pick guard, and custom paint. [REDACTED] did some very nice fretwork to this neck too. It had vintage style fret wire and he managed to put some very nice 6150's in there. He also burnished the gloss off of the neck. This neck really is a good one thanks to him.

It did nothing other than make the normal bass sound like it was being filtered through a box full of poo poo water and gravel, but not in a good way. On the other hand, some off the effects that have a lot of high end and sound shrill and brittle add vocal effects sounded great when combined with the bass, so my basis may start using it when our free jazz noise improv band plays.

A friend of mine opened a guitar repair/modding side business. Back in high school he used to put together partscasters and poo poo, always with overly complicated and unnecessary electronics. Who the gently caress needs 42 configurations on one guitar? I almost want to go check it out just to see what kind of crap he put into it. If the wood type wasn't listed in the image, I'd be concerned.

White Dog Eggs posted:Shipping to the US is surprisingly reasonable at the moment! As long as you don't mind something made from an old pan or biscuit-tin then it shouldn't cost too much. I've just scored some mahogany from an old dresser that should be pretty good for a neck laminate or two. Using recycled stuff is fun. That's fine by me. I like playing poo poo that is unique. That's the only thing I don't like about my acoustic tenor... It looks like every other acoustic tenor on the market. I'd prefer a pan or something substantial, I plan to gig with it and will need it to be somewhat resilient. If you can find a way to make it sound like a lovely AM radio as well as a full bodied sound, it'd be that much better. I can get you the specs for the neck of my tenor if you'd like. Also, did you ever plaster my guts all over that Romanian Les Paul?

White Dog Eggs posted:Also I may have a fun build coming up.... WILL have. Check your PayPal, duder. WDE is going to build me an electric 4 string tenor guitar using a frying pan and other reclaimed/recycled parts, using the specs of my current guitar as a rough guideline. The design instructions are for him to make it look like something you would make/find while scavenging through the ruins of post-apocalyptic backwoods hillbilly land. Think Fallout: West Virginia or some poo poo. I think that will suit this thread nicely.

White Dog Eggs posted:The heater in my workshop killed itself earlier, I had to bring all the wood into the the warm to stop the frost getting anything. The one on the right in the clamps is mine. Speaking of, here's some build photos of the frying pan tenor.  This is the donor pan next to the frying pan 6 string that WDE built a while ago.  The mahogany wardrobe door that has been chopped up and glued together to become the neck.  The purpleheart fretboard, which I've been told will end up a much more vibrant shade of purple once it's been sanded and finished.  The rough cut of the top of the guitar.  The rough cut on the pan, with the ruler showing where the neck will be.  The chrome rail that will become the pickups.  The rough sketch of the proposed tremolo system, made from the tailpiece of the Rom Paul mentioned earlier in the thread, a section of a cheese grater, and a BBQ fork handle for the trem arm. As far as specs go:
WDE, you have anything to add that I forgot?

Dr. Faustus posted:You know all those detuned bands? You know where the got the idea to tune down? King's X. One of the reasons King's X never got a lot of guitar press outside of album reviews was Ty Tabor's fear that someone was going to steal his sound. Back in the early days, dude used to hide his poo poo under curtains so no one could see what equipment was or what his settings were. I'd see his name pop up in Guitar Player and poo poo, but they never covered him in-depth because he wouldn't share specs or even his basic rig info with anyone. Kind of the opposite of most guitarists I know, who can't shut the gently caress up about their poo poo.

unlawfulsoup posted:I don't understand "experimental music" like Henry Kaiser and other similar noise. One of my bands (Bum and Possum Combination) is a free jazz/noise/experimental thing I put together as a joke but has made more money than all of my actual serious bands combined. That should not be read as 'made a lot of money', by the way. Most of the feedback I get after shows consists of something along the lines of 'What the gently caress WAS that?' or 'I don't know what to call that' and the occasional seriously angry dude ready to kick my rear end because he 'didn't get it' and therefore I was insulting his intelligence. I do it because it's fun to make an unholy, glorious noise without worrying about hitting the right notes or sticking to a set formula for songs. People come up with the whole 'higher concept of transcending what people perceive as music' bullshit, but my purpose for this band is to beat on a synth with my fists for 45 minutes and get $20 and two well drinks as a result. Here is our first basement EP and a live album that I threw together before my old drummer moved to Kentucky. We're now a 4 piece, have a much heavier sound, and spend our entire set laughing at each other for doing stupid poo poo while playing.

unlawfulsoup posted:Honestly you should join me, my keytar, fencing shirt, in the greatest (worst) NYC subway performance band. Now with more annoying random drum loops. That sounds awesome. I'll bring my harmonicas and play them through a vocal effects pedal so it sounds like someone poured a bottle of ipecac into a lovely early 80's CASIO keyboard. At our last show we managed to clear the entire room of any patrons who remained after the opening act, including several musicians who showed up to jam with us. The latter is strictly their own fault. I explicitly told everyone who expressed interest in sitting in that they needed to check out the recordings before they showed up. My musical direction is something along the lines of "We are recreating the assault on the Rebel outpost on the ice moon of Hoth. You are the turbolasers on the ground trying to stop the advance of the AT-AT tanks and stormtroopers" or "We are playing the soundtrack to a 1950's horror movie directed by Ed Wood." You'd be surprised how many musicians can't take instruction any less detailed than "All right guys, listen. It's a blues riff in B, watch me for the changes, and try keep up, ok?" The only guy who stuck around was this bass player dude who I'd never met before. He comes up to me right as we are about to start and says "OK, I'm plugged in but I'm confused. What are we playing?" I looked at him and said "It would probably be best if you played the bass since that's what's in your hand. You're starting us off. loving play something." He almost poo poo himself then started playing some funk groove and it all went uphill from there.
