Hello.
I'm creating prototype of new instrument and looking for a manufacturer.
Do anybody knows where to order, company or manufacturer, who can create custom shaped velocity sensitive multi touch screen display /fingerboard?This device is a synthesizer, midi controller, 3D point controller. With multi touch screen display /fingerboard, which is used both for playing and options, like controlling oscillators and other. This will work in standalone mode as synthesizer, using minimal of function, and together with software (DAW) as 3D point controller or Midi messages. This DAW have another type of audio synthesis, and have a graphical interface, and will use 3Dpoint messages instead of Midi, which is not flexible enough.
This synthesizer will be designed to play independently with 2 hands(like on piano), playing many melodies in same time(till 4), with a different sounds from stored soundset, complete arrangement with different sounds, that will turn playing to real-time, music live performance. This instrument will require advanced playing style, without strings, playing on multi touch screen fingerboard.
There is more detaled pictures on:
https://ch.pinterest.com/juhnirhyt/m...n-synthesizer/
with examples about, how sound from soundset can be assigned on fingerboard.This instrument will use a part of codes, of graphical interface and audio synthesis of DAW, so that both DAW and synthesizer will work in same way.
did you try googling 'touch screen manufacturers'?
try this
we can discuss my consulting fee later...

I bought a Conn acoustic in 1972. It was a beauty
or may not be an image at all....
If you are having difficulty pasting an image or a link to an image, please PM me and I will assist you.

Oh, and...that trapeze tailpiece is a copy of the standard Gibson ES175 trapeze. In fact, the guitar is an homage to a 175....

I'll admit I am not an expert on Washburn, especially once production moved to Asia. Washburn, as you may have already discovered, has no archive pre-1990...wonderful, eh?
I agree I never heard of a Washburn HB75...but there are HB models, HB obviously standing for Hollow Body. There are single p-up HB15s with that Florentine cutaway. Maybe that '7' was a '1'?
My guess is that yours has been modded, originally maybe it was a J series, like the 3 [which has the Florentine cutaway]. However there are several issues with that assumption, mainly the pickup locations, the neck inlays, head inlay, the pickguard and tailpiece do not look like that model. More likely it is a J-10 with a different headstock inlay, and modded pickguard but the rest is pretty much there.
I hope this helps at least get you on the trail.

looks dangerous...you could poke your eye out on that!😉

on the plus side, you hadn't gotten to attaching the bridge yet....

That is really tragic...I can't imagine how frustrated you must feel, so much work, so much mental stress to have it all stopped by one small error. Are the back and sides are still in good shape? Or is it hosed?

A great deal is going to depend on what you mean by "budget." Epiphone makes their own model of the ES335 called--wait for it--the ES335. It sells for around $600. It won't have P90s but it'll be pretty much as close as you can get to a "real" ES335. There's also the Epiphone Dot but I don't think it's a current model so you'd need to find a used one. As mentioned, Ibanez is always a good option. Never played a Gretsch and my only experience with Guild is their acoustics. Best of luck with the search.
The Epi dot is their 'bottom feeder'. The Epiphone Sheraton is actually the better 335 style, not their ES335. I would put a Sheraton up against the Guild Starfire I any day of the week.

Which of the those 2 T models do you rate more? And would you rate both more so than the guild starfire IV?
Couldn't tell ya...never played an Eastman. I can only say that the 486 appears to be the higher end model than the 386
For what you would pay for a Starfire IV, though, I would go for the Eastman T486.

There is a connection between finger length and preferred neck radius! Longer fingers can conform to a curved fretboard more easily, making a tighter radius (7.5") feel more comfortable for you. This allows for a more natural finger placement and easier fretting.
However, this is not a universal experience. Some players with long fingers may prefer a flatter neck for faster playing styles. Ultimately, the best way to find your preference is to try out guitars with different neck radii and see what feels most comfortable for you.you keep saying this...how many guitars do you own? do they all have the same radius....?

Okay. My new guitar journey has me looking at a Guild starfire IV.
But Eastman guitars have caught my eye. What's the best 355 style double c Eastman for around or close to 1000?
define 'best'....
a thousand dollars or euros or pounds?
your best shot:
[£1000] T486 or T386....
[$ or €] on the used market.

I'm flickering between an epi casino & a Guild starfire 1 (maybe an IV although that's more expensive)
However, went to try a couple of starfires today. One had fret buzz and the other had high action & maybe a warp in the neck? Maybe? Might just of needed a truss rod altercation? But it turned me off.
It was the green one with the Bigby. But it's a bonnie guitar.
It's for pure personal use. Possibly some home recording.
Pretty much any instrument you buy will need a 'set-up'...high action , fret buzz...all easily remedied, but most stores just put the factory set guitar on a hook....

I suppose nethan could try contacting the Custom Shop people there and ask, but I don't think they have offered rewinds for decades.

Price no problem?
My first choice: Lindy!
Last I heard, Lollar was not taking any new rewind orders. You could ask, though.

So for just home use, of the 2, I think I would go with the Casino, because the hollow body's acoustic sound, when playing at low levels, creates a secondary auditory environment.

Ouch!!!
Sorry to see that...I don't know what that 'thing' is...I only fix guitars...I don't make them.
I'm guessing it is a purfling groove cutter, so I would think there should be blades or an adjunct knife...looking at this online...yep....obviously this gets done often enough that they sell the tools [I may buy a set, just in case].
What do you have in there now? It looks like a finishing nail....?
Do you have one of these?

The best largely depends on your amp and style of music? yn other words where are you musically and where do you want to go
Actually, I find the 335 style guitar is extremely versatile, and as capable as most guitars...okay, sure, it is no superstrat with a floyd.... but for general rock, blues, country, R&B, ska, zydeco, jazz, fusion...it has its place at the table.

Presently, I'm looking at: An Epi Casino (with Pro p90s). A Guild firestar 1. Gretch G2622T
Or any other suggestions?
Can send yourself mental going round in circles. Was originally just going to go for the casino but started getting sidetracked.
The Guild interests me as does the D'ANGELICO DC Excel?
Anyways...
Budget is a good starting point. What are you wanting to spend?
New, or used?
Are you after a platform for mods, or a performance tool?
Any of the above mentioned instruments fit in the general description.
Glarry and Firefly make decent 335 body knockoffs that, with some soldering skills and patience, can be upgraded [pots, bridge, tuners, p-ups] to very good players.
I also am a fan of the D'Angelico Premier DC models which frequently go on sale as they reconfigure the design. The DC Excel gets pricey [US$2000].
The Eastwood Classic 6 is also an interesting option.
I also like the Epi Sheraton...the Epi 'Dot' can be hit or miss quality-wise.
Harley Benton, of course, has some budget models as well.

You might lose one but it should be fairly difficult to break a brass bridge pin. BTW, put me in the column that says bridge pins don't have that much effect on tone. YMMV.
And they are easily replaced...
