Guest disparaissant Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 i didn't put this in EKT because i'm not an expert and also it's hilariously sucky so the other day i was at goodwill because i am a broke fucker who doesn't mind second hand clothes anyways they had nothing whatsoever in the clothes department that interested me, but i did stumble across this. for the princely sum of ten american dollar$: "First Act Discovery makes imaginative musical products for kids ages 3 to 9. Designed to encourage music learning and inspire creativity, Discovery products make playing music fun!" oh man, how could i pass that up? it had never even been played, it was just chilling in it's box, half strung. so i snatched it up. worth every penny. but that wasn't enough. another guitar i have laying around is this one: it's actually the first electric guitar i ever got. my brother ended up stealing it from my parent's house because i had gotten better guitars. he left it in a shed for like a year, it was thoroughly trashed. so i decided to see what i could do with the bits that still worked, namely the pickups. oh that'll do. quick mockup. the cover is made out of the back of a dvd case that i cut up with scissors haha. fucked up my nails doin this shit jeez final product. sounds a lot better than i thought it would. this is me recording right after i plugged it in: Your browser does not support the HTML5 audio tag http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39038272/guitar.mp3 overall im amazed. it's actually usable. and i like playing it a lot, i mean its for little kids, it's got a pretty easy action.

kinski Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 the feedbacks are amazing. great job. is it hard to keep it in tune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disparaissant Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 surprisingly not! i mean it's pretty much brand new, it actually looks like someone bought it for their kid, got fed up trying to put the strings on, and gave it to goodwill. i imagine as it ages it will be impossible to keep in tune. the beauty of it is, these fuckers are 20 bucks new, so when this one wears out i can smash it, and put the electronics into another one :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kokeboka Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 If the feedback starts getting annoying, closing up the soundhole should help a lot. Although I personally do prefer noisy guitars You should find a way to build a Marshall amp with something else from goodwill - then you could into full sweet child o mine mode.

Guest disparaissant Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 i like noisy too haha. and uh, i KIND of already did that, im running guitar rig through an amp and speakers i got at goodwill, anyhow. i was kind of hoping to just have a crunchy, sort of karl blau/phil elverum sounding hunk of junk, and i think it works well for that. and also yes, i must find a toy drum kit and a good drummer and we will make billions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
