After building stuff and making music for so many years i finally felt like I should try building a guitar. In the process i tried to incorporate as many dumb and interesting ideas as I could and decided on making a fretless bass VI style guitar (tuned EADGBE but an octave lower than a normal guitar) with a built in sustainer (ebow?) so it can sound like its being bowed and do volume swells n stuff. The body of the guitar is an aluminum box made for effects pedals.
It’s still not done but it is finally playable! (Last slide shows the sustainer working. Guitar not connected to speakers)
