Also Finished this.. not a guitar.. but..








That would make me very unhappy.
I would see it hanging on the wall, run over to see how much it costs, and then realize its NOT A GUITAR and I have no idea how to play it.
Would be perfect if it was a guitar.
Peter, I have to say this has been one of the coolest projects to watch you build. I have to ask....how much. I am not ready to pull the trigger today but it could go on the bucket list.
Killer as always, Zorba and Battle of Evemore mashup time!
What pickups?
He just can't make a bazooka, or an electric guitar - he has to make art...
Love the inlay. You do your own, yes?
it sounds like an Irish Bouzouki until you kick the overdrive pedals and delay in......
Tipi tipi tai tipi tai tipi tai!We HAVE to ask for a sound clip there....
How do you know if it sounds 'right'? I mean, I don't have any idea what an electric bouzouki is supposed to sound like.
Well, I expect it to be more 'precise'. Regular acoustic ones always had some kind of 'out of tuneness' to me. There is a big Greek population near here, so get a chance to hear them being played a bit.
There is a big Greek population in my house (SO is Greek) I hear them a lot myself. This area has a huge Greek population especially the next two towns over. There is a guy there that makes acoustic BouzoukiIs have been meaning to drop by his shop.
But in all seriousness, the electric is not going to ever sound like the acoustic (IMO) without a piezo. I would say it would be best to approach this instrument as its own musical vehicle. I would love to hear this with a bit of chorus, delay maybe even some gain. I would have a ball with this instrument plugging it into different amps (bass vs. guitar vs. keyboard) and effects. I would also love to explore the instrument in its purest forms straight into an amp. It just is so cool.
