Re: Your Lotto win Guitar

I demand an explanation on why that thing costs 9k and what does it do that's worth it!
I'm just clueless about hi-tech guitars like that.

EDIT: Just checked the Tesla website... interesting concepts.

Re: Your Lotto win Guitar

I would complete my Randy Rhoads Rig... 6 white cabinets loaded with Altec Speakers, 2 more 1959RR Sig heads, put into black head boxes to go along with my 1959RR in white, a 1974 LP Custom in White, a 1992 LTD Rhoads (Made to the same speck as the original White Jackson), a 1994 PCS Rhoads, a Sandoval Polka Dot Vee, a bunch of MXR pedals and other things...

A 1959 LP Standard
A 1957 LP Goldtop
A 1959 Telecaster
A 1957-8 Strat

And probably a bunch of other stuff.

I'd gotta go with a Tueffel Tesla. About $9kUS, and it kinda looks...unique.

Re: Your Lotto win Guitar

i know that chuck levin's washington music center has a special run of PRS lefty custom 24s advertised on their website ... ~$4k w/ case

Good for Chuck Levin for doing that. I imagine you won't see too many other dealers being able to work the same kind of deal.

Still, $4k for a Custom 24 when the right-handed models are nearly half that is a bit hard to stomach.

$10M? I would spend only the fracture on geetars

I think, I would invest a part of the munny in the little luthier workshop of a friend. Dad and son company, father makes some incredible classical instruments, son is interested in elite-class electric guitars (he is also a brilliant drummer).

Probably, I would also order a load of Warmoth parts, just for fun.

Yeah, it is. I like Tueffel's ideas on balance and ergonomics- the Klein was similar, and an awesome instrument, but they aren't made anymore and are hard to find. I always wondered if you threw history, iconic pictures, & childhood dreams out of the window, and you approached guitar making from a purely human and ergonmic standpoint, what someone can come up with.

what do all the "knobs?" do

Re: Your Lotto win Guitar

the 3 between the pickups are push buttons, non-latching. One is a kill switch. The next actually cuts off the signal, and *adds* 60 cycle hum. The last feeds a microphone in the body into itself creating feedback, both controlled and the squealing type. The idea is to have a guitar that has all the sounds people actually try to get rid of. I don't know if I bought one, if I would have them on there, but it is certainly a departure from conventional designs.

The one above the strings is a pickup switch..either off or on. The other 2 are volume/tone.

...but hey, at least I picked the most conservative of his creations:

I'd drive over to Nashville and spend an afternoon at Gruhn. Who knows what I'd come home with.
