Mickguard Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 What?? You are 14??! That guitar looks like it was built by a luthier with 14-year experience! I guess now it's safe to say you are born to make guitars. So again.. What?? You are 14??! ← No, the real question is, does he play half as well as he can build? Hey, mushy, I'd love to hear some clips of this guitar (and your playing) if you can post them. Oh yeah, and I really like the 'stealth pickup' idea...

x189player Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 wow, i'm very impressed. I LOVE the minimalism! it takes some really innovative thinking to hide the pickups under the wood... good job! you're thinking far more creatively than most of us hope to at any age- keep it up! I can't wait to see your next project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CudBucket Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Mushy, that's a great attempt considering your age. I'm floored by what you've accomplished. Yes, there are imperfections, but you've no doubt learned way more than that. I would suggest you go back to that design a little down the road and do it again. It can only be better. I can't imagine how nice that would be. When my first guitar is done I hope it gets the same approval from the members of this forum as yours has. That might be asking too much though! Keep building. We've got our eyes on you! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushy the shroom Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 wow.. i did NOT expect to see this thread pop back up.... ← Yeah, it's been quite a while. I'm still 14 (yes, Zephyr, 14). I have a few demos I recorded with a different guitar from last summer (which you can access at http://staticline.drastic-creations.com/songs.htm the third set are my demos, and can be downloaded). I used a different guitar, the synth drums suck, and they are a little spacy, considering I left space for vocals (if you know anyone, or if you yourself sing, go ahead, and lay something down). Anyway, I have been playing for a little over 10 years total, with 8 years of Classical guitar training, and almost 3 of rock. Judge for yourself if I'm any good. As for clips of the Nebula, I still don't have adequate recording devices to properly capture it's sound, so I'm not even going to try. I have been thinking of a next project, and I hope to start it late spring, or early summer. It is in the basic "minimalist" style of the nebula, with the same shape, and embedded pickup, but I have about 6 new concepts I hope to introduce. If anyone wants more info, I can explain. I've calculated the total cost, and it comes to about $1200 (ouch), unless someone knows of a free spray gun I can use. Anyway, thanks for the continued support!
