A Ficus
so I was looking last night for a project guitar for my new cheap pickups
some cheap frame to try them out in

I was trying to find something I wanted, that was inexpensive

I have been lusting for the new Ibanez Q series offers
at 5 lbs those headless just seem to be great
but why get a $1000 guitar just to rip out the pickups and wiring

i need something cheap
then I found it

headless
5 lbs
slim neck
$155

comparing the reviews for the Ibanez and IYV the bridges are remarkably similar

it will be here next week

I dont need another guitar
I really dont
its a sickness

i have gotten to where my buddy has told me not to buy any more guitars for him either
his wife says he has too many

dang it

there has to be a 12 step program
 
youre forgiven. i think i have 32 guitars right now, down from a high of over 50 but way more than i need. over the course of a year, i only gig maybe ten of em so wtf do i need the rest for?!?! good luck with your 12 step program and let me know how it goes :D
 
Hey, we all relapse in the guitar 12-step program sometimes. I haven't played that guitar, but I spent time with an IYV Les Paul that played and sounded amazing. It did not play and sound good for a sub-$200 guitar; it flat-out sounded and played great.
 
i was thinking

Step one = turn down the volume
Step two = unplug the guitar
Step three = take off the guitar

etc
help me fill it out
 
that sounds like a terrible plan. try: pick up guitar, tune guitar, play for as long as it suits (three hours is totally fine), put guitar down with a simile on your face
 
From AI:

The "Guitar Hoarder's Anonymous" 12-Step Program

Step 1: Admitting You Have a "Guitar Problem" Welcome to Guitar Hoarder's Anonymous, where we've gathered to admit we've got more guitars than friends. Admit that when you see a new guitar, your heart races faster than your metronome.

Step 2: Embracing the Power of Denial Deny the fact that you've run out of space for guitars. Tell yourself, "One more won't hurt." Keep the receipt just in case your denial breaks.

Step 3: Finding New Homes for Guitars Donate guitars to your imaginary friend's imaginary band. Pretend you're a musical philanthropist while secretly hoping they'll invite you to jam.

Step 4: Surrendering to Logic Realize you can't possibly play all your guitars at once. Admit that "Guitar Jenga" isn't a viable performance style.

Step 5: Budgeting Wisely...Maybe Budget for essentials like strings and picks. "Guitar-shaped" food doesn't count, even if it's on sale.

Step 6: The "Just One More" Challenge Challenge yourself to only buy one more guitar this year. Don't count the ones that magically appear in your dreams.

Step 7: Remembering Names Learn to remember the names of your guitars. Your wallet will appreciate that you're not introducing them as "Number 47."

Step 8: Developing Alternative Hobbies Explore new hobbies, like birdwatching. After all, guitars are the only instruments that can't fly.

Step 9: Reaching Out to Guitar-Tolerant Friends Apologize to friends who've been hit by falling guitar cases. Offer them a free lesson in dodging.

Step 10: Celebrating "Minimalism" Celebrate the art of minimalism by removing one guitar each week from your bed before sleeping.

Step 11: Building a Guitar Ark Start building an ark for your guitars. Hope it doesn't rain on your parade (or collection).

Step 12: Achieving Guitar Enlightenment Enlightenment: Realize that guitars are tools for music, not instruments of interior decorating. Embrace playing over posing.

Remember, humor can be a powerful tool for acknowledging and addressing challenges. If you find yourself with a guitar-buying "problem," don't hesitate to seek support or advice from fellow musicians, friends, or family. Just make sure they're not fellow guitar hoarders in disguise!

That is an interesting instrument, though. I am happy headless instruments have trickled down to budget prices. I wish they would all use double ball strings, though.
 
I am quite happy using normal inexpensive single ball strings

but wish there was something offered in that vein

My wife is fine if you start mailing them to me.... I'll take on that burdensome responsibility for a while.
 
Ime, most organ recordings use nice vintage tonewheel rigs which are worth 5-12k. You can use a patch or get a rig for less tho. I got the digital A3 system which ran me 10k once I was done piecing it together. If I ever upgrade, I won't be getting the higher up digital for 28k lol. I'll get a vintage tonewheel.
