Secret Project Complete! (with pics/vid)

[Roafus]

Hello.

I was just wondering if anyone would like to see this thing I made...
It's not exactly bent, but it is heavily modded and I'd love to hear some feedback.

THANKS!!

Thats one of the stupidest things i've ever seen, almost like something from Flight Of The Conchords. Nicely done 

You need to get that on some video by some hip and happening 80's retro electro nonsense group.

  hehe great job !

[Timodon]

  I like it a lot!

One of my bandmates had suggested that I do something like this just the other day. And here you are! Well done chum.

Puts my own "Built-in Fuzz" to shame.

I would love to see someone play it live, nice job!

If anyone has any ideas about reducing the hum when I turn the tone up or put it through effects, please let me know... thanks.

or something isn't grounded possible

dude, that is INSAINE! thanks for sharing!

with a solid body electric guitar, there is a lot of wood, so a lot of room for controls. if you own a router, you can route from the back where the mod cannot be seen, or add another pickguard.

there would be a lot of room for body contacts, switches, buttons, pots, etc.

perhaps you can make the keyboard and guitar counter act somehow?

or, is there a way you can add the keyboard circuit,  sans keyboard...make a midi patch, and install a rolland synth pickup? that might be doable.

your model makes it even more of a conversation piece though!

well done!

nice one! too bad about the hum though, it's pretty loud on the video..

how did you wire the keyboard and guitar outputs together? separate volume controls?
if you unhook either one, does it still hum?

made me think of the cracklebox guitar, btw
