Love that shits but kinda like the first one better, what kind of pickup did it have?

first one had an EMG SELECT humbucker from Stewart MacDonald. very bright and loud.

Tell me that it still gets played! I know this thread is about your newer one, but I can't get over that blue relic!

sadly, the blue is not in service. the pickup and the tortoise ring are, however, on a different homemade guitar. the prototype is confined to history. thanks for the compliments though. i like it a lot too, which was why i had my friend build a proper model based on it. i wish i had the skills...

here is the demo, such as it is. not very representative of the range of the guitar, but there you have it.

i'm not a guitar player, really, but i love the things to death and i use them to write little blues melodies like this.

thanks for watching.

Wow! That is awesome! The fretboard looks like the one on Elmore's guitar

yep. i wanted those double dots all over the board, not just at the 12th. it seemed to be more common on pre-war guitars.

The video makes me like the design even better. I always liked the combo of light blue guitars with black pickguards. Very nice.
