Old thread about it on another forum:
http://www.metalguitarist.org/forum/guitar-tech-electronics-and-diy/78289-arsestick-girlfriends-guitar-build.html

Basically, she woke up a morning about a year ago, draw a guitar on a post-it and now, it's actually finished!
She built it all herself, while I assisted with knowledge about guitar construction etc.

Message from Karin:
"It's now finished! Three stringed, plug and play, and more sinister than ever!" :flex:

DOCUMENTARY!

What a coincidence; I also made an arse stick. Mine is not appropriate for a guitar-related forum.

I was in Sweden last year, albeit very briefly. Not everybody there seemed as crazy as you.

Keep up the good work.

Gott nytt år!

Very cool! Please pass my congratulations along to Karin, great job!  :yourock:

Haha well, it's not I who made it  :toothy12:

Yeah, it's an impressive build. Not just the visual design but the special neck construction is very unique too

ummm, been to Sweden... find me a Swede that ISN'T crazy and then we'll talk...
(the Finlanders are worse if that helps)

What he said!

 

[Cederick]

I recorded just a brief demo at 14:02 in the video

But I'll do a better tone demo soon

(yeah she wants me to demo it to show its ful potential, since she isn't really a guitarist :icon_biggrin

So why is it called an "Arse" stick?

 

[Cederick]

She said because "Punk Rod was taken already"

Before she thought about building the guitar she had her eyes on these:

[stratamania]

A whole subgenre of guitars I know little of it seems ;-)

This thing is an absolutely cool build. Thumbs up to Karin. Same to you for the great guidance.

Because of the wiring (including a resistor) it sounds almost like a guitar with tone knob turned down, but Karin likes the sound so why not  :icon_biggrin:

 

[BigSteve22]

Amazing tone! Looks like a blast to play. Cederick surely seems to be really enjoying himself!  :turtle:
