Greetings all, here's my latest build, I'm actually so pleased with this one that I've already started it's evil twin (more on that at a later date!), and with luck I'll get to build a few of these as they're great fun...
Hollow bodied electric, mahogany body, the unusual feature is a solid spruce top veneered with amboyna: the aim is to get some of the acoustic sound from the spruce but the appearance and functionality of an electric:
145723145724145725145722145726145727145728145729
It's powered by a Seymour Duncan cool rails pickup, switch gives you parallel/single/series wiring, plus volume and tone (bass cut/high pass) controls.
Here's the demo, for those short of time, the first minute has effects on, then all effects are off for most of the demo, and the last 3 minutes are a strictly acoustic demo... yes you can play it acoustically, you're just not supposed to ;) Basically it's fine for practising acoustically, but it's quiet, and you loose bass response. Banjo mass slaying is not on the cards unless you plug in...
