Hey everyone,
I was just wondering why I don't post here ever so I thought I'd start.
I'd like to share my recent build the N.E.S. Guitar feature the almighty Dimebucker! This will be a quick show me and I'll answer questions as they come, if any.
I don't claim this to be an original concept, you can find these on the net, but I just happened to have a dead NES, all the parts, and a disposable guitar. This is the first time I've ever done anything like this.
The neck and body (inside the dead NES) come from a First Act Adam Levine Signature guitar that, can you believe, I found in someone's garbage?!?
It was a bit f-ed up to say the least, but after a serious overhaul, I managed to save it. After the dimebucker swap, it turned out to be a surprisingly decent player.
As far as construction, I just kind of winged it. I looked at others on the net and just sort of used my logic figure out how they were done. I didn't find much in the way of non-vague instructions and I was more interested in figuring it out for myself anyway.
The original body is inside the NES. The sides were cut off with a jig saw to fit. the only issue was that I had to shim the neck to compensate or else the action would be unmanageable.
My original idea was to make the existing reset button a kill switch but it was the wrong type of momentary. So in the interest of time, I just put one on it. Added a stylish handle for the heck of it.
All of the electronics are mounted to the door which can be accessed at anytime via the latch. I did add some weight to the inside
And at the very least, I had to make the power light work. It is powered by a 9v that is accessible from the back of the NES. There is a hatch back there that actually has a use now. I plan on making more with other consoles in the future.
Hope you all enjoy this!
See ya!
