Experimental SG

[day_2k]

Hi All, I just wanted to show some people my latest project, I am very happy with both how it looks and it's incredible tone.

It is a Mahogany Body with Wenge top, Wenge neck (wizard) Ebony fingerboard and Bareknuckle pickups (2 Cold Sweat humbuckers one Stockholm p90) 6 way pickup selector with coil tapping and phase selection on pickup rings, a 7 way tone circuit and an EMG Afterburner.

Thanks!!

That is totally, totally slick. Are you familiar with Peter Malinoski's work?

I don't like some of the lines he uses, but the basic concept is great. Yours looks better... Say he:

I never wanted to make someone else's instrument any more than I wanted to copy someone else's painting.”

That looks great!  Is that a Phat Cat in the middle position?

Thanks everyone I'm really happy it is appreciated here Although until you hear the thing it cant be truly appreciated as I'm sure you will agree it sustains forever!

The centre pickup is a Bare Knuckle Stockholm, I wanted it really versatile and adding in the p90 there plus the tapped humbuckers really does give it lots of different tones for sure.

Those Peter Malinoski works look lovely I really have a thing for figured wood, I have just put a figured walnut top on an old Washburn n1 I have had for about 16 years, it looks the nuts.

The actual SG it was based on started out as a kinda homage to Frank Zappa's Baby Snakes SG

I loved the way there is that stripe around the bevel and the crazy electronics too, with the mad pick up selecting, mid boost and the green ringer (although i did away with that idea, wouldn't really use one) I may have got a little carried away and added an extra pickup and incorporated 25 pickup switching possibilities multiplied by the 7 tone circuits which theoretically gives 175 tones (plus double that if you turn the after burner on i guess?) however some of the differences are so subtle I wouldn't be able to tell them apart!

I might rewire this to be more simple later on but once I know which tones I use the most. Plus I can't recommend the wenge neck enough! it is sooo fast..

ok enough of my slushy words.. haha

Thanks for all your appreciation!
