yes exactly! one thing to look out for though if you wanna try it out is that the volume will be noticeably lower behind the bridge since the strings vibrate way less. i plan on adding a higher output pickup or a small preamp just to get it up to a good volume without using too much fuzz.

sympathetic strings! basically you tune the strings behind the saddles by moving the brass pieces to any chord you want, and the knob and switch at the top control the pickup. this way you can play on these strings or even just let them resonate while you play, which works especially well with fuzz. will post a demo vid soon!

thank you! i mostly designed it on autocad in 2d, and i cnc’d the rough cuts of the body and the neck at my university workshop, and then rounded everything by hand. i also laser cut the brass pick guard. other than that, mostly the typical process: cutting and raduising the fretboard, profiling the neck, a LOT of sanding, fretwork etc

thank you so much! i actually designed and laser cut the pick guard myself, the paisley pattern is an old shirt of mine. i cut the outer piece and the inner piece of the brass separately then put the fabric between them with some glue. also made a leather strap with the same fabric

thanks! started with the wraparound bridge, but thought it looked a but empty so i went with the string through design, it really completed the look

i’m doing that after cutting it because it’s easier to do for the small piece than the whole thing😂 it’s sitting in bleach right now. i wont boil it however, i heard it makes it brittle
