The UV Bastardisation Project Thread

[7 Dying Trees]

Hmm... I think your project need an other thing to be complete. A Line 6 variax system. I just remembered Adrian Belew's Parker. It has Piezo, Midi, Sustainer and Variax!! Crazy but cleanly done! Note the price tag... http://www.gearwire.com/media/parker-guitars.wmv

I asked graphtec about the midi, they basically said that I'd need to seperate midi outs because of the 7 strings, as midi only supports 6.

However, thinking about it, maybe I could just hook 6 treble strings up for midi, although that may just be a little bit overkill...

The variax I thought about, but then it begs the question of how much wood would physicall be left for the guitar body itsself...

Maybe in another guitar project, but the variax doesn't massively tickle my goat. Unless you can use 7 strings with them, i dunno...

What did Graphtec say about the piezo saddles for the Edge trem? The Edge trem baseplate is contoured, so I guess the saddles should all be the same height. I believe that their standard kit has different height saddles to fit the flat baseplate of a Floyd trem. I have sent them a question about such a kit some time ago but never got a reply....

They said that when they're available they can put together a set of 7 #1 saddles they should have them in 1-3 months apparently!

 

[Jazzedout]

Although they never replied to my email...
Did you email Graphtech directly (that's what I did) or a UK dealer. Their international dealer page doesn't seem to work...

 

[7 Dying Trees]

Emailed graphtech and graphtec technical support

 

[turmoil]

any updates on this piece???

 

[7 Dying Trees]

Well, still a bit stalled with waiting for graphtech, so may just have to go ahead and get cracking with the other work, just have not had the time to sit down and get busy with it. I'm waiting for an edge6 trem to arrive so i can temporarily cannibalise the saddles to make the guitar playable and to put it together, but it's taking a very long time to arrive

 

[7 Dying Trees]

Woohoo! Just recieved an edge trem in the post! I'll be cannibalising the parts I need of it, using one of the 2 or 3 old saddles that still work and rebuilding the edge7 trem tonight!

If any of you guys want an edge6 baseplate in cosmo chrome (very very clean) then let me know

I am well happy as this means that even with the cracked body I'll be able to get a guitar up and running this evening to see what it's like

beater guitars FTW!

"So doctor, it doesn't look good, he's missing an awfull lot of parts... Are you sure we'll be able to pull this off? And will he survive?"

"Yes nurse, but luckily we have finally found a donor! I know, i know, taken from us too soon, but we can't let the loss of one life sadden the emergence of another!"

"Well, looks like we're ready to go nurse, first, we'll have to remove everything we'll need off the donor!"

"Now, isn't that better? We're almost there!"

"OOOOOOH NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"!!! We're missing a part!"

"Quick! get some of the old parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Phew, that's fixed it all up, not perfect, but we almost lost him there!"

"Now it's time to put him back where he belongs! We'll need some quick surgery, prepare the body!"

"Good! Good! Now we'll attach the neck!"

"Yes Doctor"

"Look Nurse! look at what we have achieved!"

"it's amazing! it's like we have bought it back from the dead!"

"MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

Ah... I just thought you were going with a "hentai" theme for this build.
