verhoevenc Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I jsut thought that the idea was kinda cool. Build a guitar with one of those little metal legs that retract into the body and have yourself an "upright guitar". I dunno, go stand next to your couch and use that to raise up the guitar and trying playing the guitar as an upright, it's not uncomfortable at all. It's kinda fun. Especially if you made the guitar in a very neo-classical way. I think it could be fun. Anyone seen one before? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikhailgtrski Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Sounds painful. Too much time on your hands, Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAI6 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 So, pretty much like a Stick then? Playing standard would be a pain in the a**, but if you're going for the two-handed stuff, it should be nice..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr3Va1L Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Yea I don't think you could use a pick with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 WAY too much time on my hands. Summer, no job, etc. etc. And what do you mean painful? It didn't hurt me at all? Oh well, we'll see... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zionstrat Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 ah ha.. the perfect candidate for.. AN OLD CELLO! Trust me you will have a blast- I played in school and picked up a bsted one for $25 from a pawn shop- Tune in 4ths instead of 5ths and what do you have? A 4 string, bowable, frettless- Double stopable instrument of the same scale lenth as a guitar- I'm seriously considering inlaying fretllines in the fingerboard, as the old 5th positions that are embeded in my fingers aren't very useful when tunred to 4ths:) There's a great article out there on how to put a very good contact pup under the bridge for $25- Anyone rember old ELO? Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Irizarry Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Thought you might be interested in this - Megatar It seems, in essence, a variation on the Stick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
