- Guyatone Lg-20 - 1960s Japanese-made Tele Hybridized With Jaguar Parts
guitarz.blogspot.com: Now this Guyatone LG-20 is my kind of Telecaster. Note the Fender Jaguar-style vibrato and pickups, while the bridge is a typical 1960s Japanese unit with roller saddles for each string - a system that works brilliantly with this...

Music of the week: one of the musicians who influenced me the most is Marc Ribot. I saw him on stage in the early 1990s - a little bit by chance, all I knew about him was that he was playing for Tom Waits - and he blew my mind: it was like nothing...

music of the month: it's been long since my last post so I heard a lot of music, and it's not easy to chose. What actually stood up are bits of Astor Piazzolla songs I heard here and there - at the music school where I take my kid every week,...
- Melobaritone Project 2
I started to work on the Doppelcaster but my brain is still busy with the Melobaritone idea... I did put some more thinking on it, and updated the project (I want a new instrument, not just a Melobar copy). First I would do it with an aluminium neck...
- A Guitar That Works
What started as a testbed has turned into a nice, playable guitar. For the first time, I've made a working guitar that I believe suits my position and style better than anything I could buy. This was the problem, that initially, some four years ago,...
Guitar
geared up for tomorrow's concert
Now that I do concerts again, I see how different it is since I started to get interested in gear. I spend almost as much time tweaking stuff as preparing music! Well I do improv, so I need to keep fresh, and it's a good way to stay focused, understand how sound is produced and try something completely new!
I housed my Volcas in a crude wooden rack and put my LeafAudio DroneSynth in a wooden box.
Here is the new Göldo roller bridge I put on the Jaguar - broke too many strings since I put the LesTrem. I'm not satisfied yet with it, the E strings jump easily out of the roller saddles - my playing style is quite enthusiastic… But I'm sure it can be set up somehow - have to figure out how.
And this is the pedal line for this project !
