Er.. No.

Hurb's Faux XII and DawnOfZion's Supersonic from SCRATCH completely spank this. They built guitars and wired pickups by hand.

Plus they weren't hideous.
That stuff's old and busted. This is new hotness.
Old and Busted?


Ridiculous. They actually built their projects themselves rather than buying stuff in from other people and getting stuff built. Have some respect.

That's on Tim... :)
Well, this is my current setup. I've switched back to a Hagstrom after playing the aluminium-necked Electrical Guitar Co for almost two years. Eventually you just crave some variety! Hagstrom III with internal GK:

Into this GI-20/JV1010 combo and some pedals:

I've improved the floor stuff recently by rehousing the mixer and allowing it to be bypassed.

With all due respect, bite my ass. They're both a means to an end, this isn't a luthiery competition and I'd appreciate you taking your "holier-than-thou" attitude somewhere else. If you wanna stick with basic old model electric guitars, go for it (and I mean 'go' as in 'go' out of this thread.) I'm trying to do something different and can afford to have this stuff made better than I could do it myself, so your point is invalid.

What I'd really like to do is hook it up to this, mount the ring on the headstock to have both hands free, hook that up to an expression pedal and use it to control filter parameters while triggering samples and things of the like in Logic/Ableton and playing guitar overtop... Or maybe even use the guitar to control an entirely different instrument altogether, like a Roland TB-303 clone and use the SA MIDI-EXP to control it's onboard parameters. Then again it's all up in the air right now but it's too tempting and exciting to not see this project through to fruition.

I have every right to dispute Mezzio's point, which I did, and was justified in doing so. The fact of the matter is that your project doesn't impress me as much as the stuff the other guys have done does. They've pushed boundaries in far more impressive ways (attaining skills, doing things on their own) than I see here (inserting wank circuitry into a parts guitar).

Since I have no inclination to watch you assemble this monstrosity I won't be posting here again.

"Bite my ass"? Jesus Christ.

Why did this thread get so silly?

Jeez, so much negativity for no reason.

Also at the end of the day all 3 of them just built/are building some variation of a Fender :lol:, no matter how weird or what means they choose to get to the end point, they're all so heavily Fender influenced...

The GI-20 converts guitar 'notes' into midis. The midis are eaten by the JV1010 that makes the guitar sound like a piano, a violin or a choir of monks.

I think it's possible to overcomplicate the issue, it's easy to forget that what people care about is songs and ideas, not technical nonsense. Muse is a good case in point. Be careful not to follow choadbot in that band up his own asshole.

I just read this thread from page 1, and sorry mike, you totally douched it up in here. i know you and hurb are tight, and his faux XII build was definitely hotness. but i LOVE handen's guitar design in this project, just as tim's guitar he posted is fucking out of sight cool. honestly-sometimes you come off really fucking arrogant because you pigeonhole yourself into this little box of "What Mike Likes" instead of giving people props for being into and trying DIFFERENT SHIT.

i like you dude...but it's shit like you did in this thread that leaves me scratching my head. a simple "i'm more into what hurb or blah blah did with their shit cuz i like simpler designs" would've sufficed. instead you resorted to calling shit wank and then you talked shit on him just because he paid someone else to do the work.

if he bought the body from rob(og) and had other shortscalers do the other work would you be putting your dick in his mashed potatoes?

Make as much as it as you want, all I was doing was counting Mezz's argument which I still think was ridiculous.

Building stuff from scratch impresses me a lot more than MIDI.

Thanks to the direction this thread has gone, I've decided to have Bailey fill the hollow part of the neck with smooth peanut butter and the fretboard will be made of crackers with raisin inlays. Delicious raisin inlays...
