Members Red Scorpion Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 It took me 3 month to make this guitar...

The guitar comes with EMG pickups 81 +81.Built in effects are: boss effects: GE-6 Equalizer MT2 Metal Zone CS-3 compression sustain RV-3 reverb+echo PS-5 octave+pitch shifter AC-2 acoustic simulator Ibanez effects: CF7 chorus+flanger WD7 Weeping demon (wah) Pulsar tremolo (variable wave shape) [ATTACH]243252[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]243253[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]243254[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lndianScout Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 with all those effects are you running a power cable tied to the guitar cord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members almightycrunch Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 It took me 3 month to make this guitar. what, one week for wiring, and the rest of the time for drilling holes in the pickguard??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members almightycrunch Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 with all those effects are you running a power cable tied to the guitar cord?yeah a power strip mounted to the back where all the wall warts are plugged in???

Members Red Scorpion Posted September 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 with all those effects are you running a power cable tied to the guitar cord? I have a place for batteries... Of course you don't use all the effects at once... perhaps 4 or 5 at a time... so 4 9v batteries are enough, and yes it has a power plug to save battery life. For people who wonder how the wah is working, I managed to incorporate a mechanism the responds to the guitar direction and it really works so beautifully Yes, it looks like a beast lol I still need to find a name for it, I don't wanna call it "Cort Effector" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Red Scorpion Posted September 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 wow, dude are you serious??? thats crazy stuff, really works??? Yes it works 100%, and I can't keep my eyes off of it lol I forgot to mention that I added a "line in" in order to use the guitar as an effect board for other guitars... I can plug my strat in it and use all the effects.... Really cool thing... and not confusing at all, the effects controls are in reach, not on the ground...

Members SirFrancisBacon Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 So how much does it weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Red Scorpion Posted September 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 So how much does it weigh? I have played heavier guitars... but I must admit, it is heavy... there was no way to make it weigh less, I always wanted a guitar like that, and now I have one.

Members 32-20-Blues Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Red Scorpion, you're a genius. You're probably slightly mad, but you're still a genius. That is some damn inventive work. Nice job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Red Scorpion Posted September 5, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 Oh, yeah. Name that bitch the "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot". I will put that name in the list lol... I wanted to call it X-cavator actually... @ 32- 20-blues, thanx for the compliment... @bootroot, the guitar is eqauipped with EMG humbucker 81, no hum whatsoever, and it is internally shielded with isolating metal film... I have spent a lot of time working on the design, will write a review about how I made it along with some youtube videos... I must learn how to play a guitar first ... kidding I am not that bad ... I would rather consider myself a guitar technician more than a guitar player actually. The problem is, I need to buy a decent camcorder but I am so broke right now , the guitar drained my wallet just like a boss RV-3 drains a battery lol If any of you guys have questions, don't hesitate to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members larryguitar Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 How about audio clips? Maybe where you run straight into the board, then use each effect? Sounds like you got just what you wanted-well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members _pete_ Posted September 5, 2007 Members Share Posted September 5, 2007 I was gonna say it needs a Floyd but you have that covered.Maybe you could install some LED fingerboard dots. Helluva job. I can't imagine the wiring in that baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
