Another pickup experiment

After installing the bass pickup last week, I thought it would be interesting to have outputs for each pickup. 

This is just a test.

Disquiet Junto 0745 Double Down

 

The Junto this week is to "Do something you do too much even more."

I'm often noodling away on a guitar and sometimes recording these unedited performances to publish. 

So my Junto recording this week has a recording within a recording with the Chase Bliss Habit pedal looping back on earlier parts.

This is my Nukuele guitar with four strings and a bass pickup under the D, so that part of the performance is also doubled with the second output going to Ottobit.

Anyway, I talked about this guitar earlier... 

Weird pickup on my guitar

Naviarhaiku639 – nobody home

 

The haiku shared by Naviar this week reminded me of a blues song I'd started as a joke with my partner.

I made a few recordings, but this one using a guitar tuned BEBE worked best. 

Nukulele

I couldn't decide whether this guitar showed an innovation or an abomination, so I shared it with a group of Telecaster enthusiasts. 

The idea was to add a pickup for bass, then I decided to use the DADA tuning that I've been enjoying. 

Anyway, aside from the comments comparing Frankenstein and the effects of meth (but surprisingly no one proposing it's what the monster would look like on meth, or if Dr Frankenstein took drugs?), I anticipated someone would tell me to grow up and stop shit-posting for giggles. 

However, I didn't expect it would be Facebook posing the question whether I should have messed with one of the most beloved guitar designs.

Netflix and chill


 

He is risen!

My double-neck instrument turned out better than I had hoped!

The Easter long weekend isn't over yet and the project has completed, aside from curing the liquid nails.

I had a set of Artist branded single coils from a better guitar that went with the brand names on the headstocks, as well as new split pickups for bass.

When gluing the bodies together I became concerned about the space between the necks, which brought the mahogany garden stakes next to me into focus.

The stake through the heart of the guitar monster is evocative, so I wiped back the black paint along the seam.

Easter long weeeekend

In the spirit of sacrifice and working to bring together opposing players, I wish you and yours all the best!

Happy weekend!

Body, neck and guard
