I've got an American Telecaster and was going to inherit a 68 Martin D-28 that my dad has played for 40 years..but he sold it because of family money issues (sister got divorced for second time, has 4 kids, no job etc etc). But anyways, Dad and I took a trip down to Road Atlanta last weekend and we stopped by to see a friend of his. This friend happens to own a very rare collection of acoustic guitars, and it was quite an honor to hold and observe a 1935 Pre-war Martin D-28. I was told it's the holy grail of guitars..but heck, I play the piano.../shrug
Humm.. Well I have a Frankintar LoL, it was an elcheapo I used to give lessons at the music store I worked at. The darned thing just had such a wonderful feeling neck I decided to keep it. I had the owner drop in 2 Dimarzio double humbuckers and a custom 6 way tone nob that he built, also have a Steinberger 4 string and a set of Hart Dynamics electronic drums. Have to admit, I am a middelin guitar and bass player, my main instrument is the drums.
Kuzi, thanks for the varitone post link. Might not be what I want to do on this project, or maybe I'll toss it in later if I figure a good way to set it up. Maybe someday when I get around to the homemade "frankenstang".... It's a really cool concept that got me thinking. Thanks for the advice on the caps too.
