Slide guitar MIDI - Piezo Mod...

[shotgunn]

Here is another mod I did for guy as a test. This guitar was intended to be played standing up. I did not build this. It is completely unergonomic and everyone who plays it develops tendinitis instantly.

Guitar before pic...

Bridge before pic...

Bridge milled out...

13-pin jack...

Electronics...

I have a short video of a VERY skilled steel player jammin on this. I will search for the tape and upload a.s.a.p.

Thanx,

This picture fucks with my head.. i cant figure out any of the angles..
the brown part of body looks like its sitting on the table flat, but the maple/bridge part look like they are perpendicular to the table

You are correct... The strings sit at about 115 degree angle to the body. VERY difficult to play, a waste of time in fact.

But I sure did MIDIfy it...

Cool mod, but - what the FUCK?! Looks like someone dismantled one of those "arty" coffee tables and glued it back together blindfolded

No disrespect of course, to each his own.

I agree. Very obscure, it is totally impossible play comfortably.
