Thanks Michael! That guitar is one that I built myself very shortly before that show. The shape and neck/body junction are based loosely on the Teuffel Tesla, but the electronics are more like a standard Les Paul, and the tremolo setup is a Steinberger R-trem. I originally built it with a second two-string fretless bass neck (as it appears in the video), but removed the second neck shortly afterwards as it wasn't really earning its keep. (It really required a 2nd full-range amp in addition to the guitar amp for the bass to sound good, and the long skinny neck kept whacking into my rack, the mic stand, innocent passersby, etc.) It was supposed to have had a photoelectric theremin in the middle pickup position. (It's routed for it and the middle pickup cover is a dummy, but I never did put the circuit in.) Also, the Dimarzio that was in the bridge position is now in my Tele, and I've never gotten around to wiring up its replacement, so at the moment it's only got the one neck humbucker... I've got some photos of it posted at the Eccentric Luthiery Support Group... <http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/EccentricLuthierySupportGroup/> -t- http://www.myspace.com/nimbletunes http://cdbaby.com/all/timnelson http://www.youtube.com/speleman62 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
