This is an acoustic guitar build with a bunch of twists. I replaced the top with a Spanish Classical guitar design that was reversed. I Also used multiple sound holed as opposed to one sound hole. I also added peizo discs under saddle. I made the saddle from a brass blank. I also installed two humbuckers to blend with the peizo discs. I also built a control and tuner pod got the body. And I split the bridge into a bridge and a string pod to make the string length longer and for aesthetics as well. I replaced the nut with bone and the pegs with bone too.
I stripped off the fret board, made a new fret board and slotted and fretted it. Standard dots and side markers with plastic rod. The frets are harder than a normal acoustic blend. I also redesigned the neck pocket to make the neck bolt on. I installed a pre-amp in the side.
The photography is my own on a digital Kodak. This was before I forced myself to use a phone to do it because I truly hate phones.
The video work is also my own. And the model is once again my own wife Amber Smith. She was actually a model at a very young age, like 11. A good sport to let me use her material. She is also an author, artist and an advocate against child abuse.
The Music is my own. The studio version of A minor which is an extended and electric version. An extended version of Rode the Limited and an extended version of Solution Six as well. All three from the master AIFF for the EP in 2016. Enjoy, feedback is welcome.
And last. This build is in a book you can get at Amazon:
A closer look at the Franken SG build. I did not get to play this guitar much as the first time I posted images of it was sold. As with anything I build I took it for a spin and I loved the way it played.
The Scrapwood SG was a super short scale build which made it seem super fast when playing A LEAD PIECE. this has an extended 25.5 scale and feels like you can play forever going up that neck. The two models are Shell And Christine. Real people. I am not in the video at all but a 3D model of my 1972 Challenger build is. I build 3D models and bring them to life driving them in RS a 3D game building app. I hope you enjoy the video. It is Sunday and NYC is getting pummeled with snow. Coming down fast and the predictions for the city are up to 2 feet. Hopefully not. There is nowhere to put it…
