Author Topic: My new dream guitar in mind... (Read 2333 times)

Ok, here it goes...

The Toma_Hawk project is good and underway, and it will be my ideal Alembic bass period.

Since I am also a electric guitar player, I feel it may be time to put all the finest qualities to capture the shape, sound, and technologies which elevates the classic sounds, yet with qualities of its own.

The name I came up for this electric guitar is: Devon

I will not go into the details as to why I am naming this dream guitar after A famous person's main squeeze, hopefully without my interpretations and to only ones imagination you will understand.

Don't think I am crazy doing this, I don't think I am losing my mind... - JH -

My rendition is forth coming...

Peace-

Yowza! Bee-yoo-ti-full! I take that is a highly figured walnut top?

Walnut would be nice... I see it...
Thanks Paul.

Is that three pickups with series electronics or two and a hum cancellor. I'd love to get a three pickup series guitar as one of my strats has alembic activators and three pickups and the sound spectrum is amazing.

This is a (3) pickup series, running active with an old school, slide pickup selector switch.

There are (2) hidden hum cancelers between each pickup.

As for the controls, I am still thinking on the layout and function. What you see, is just a ruff draft of the controls. However, one thing I am sure about: The slide control, the (3) pickups with hum cancellation, and of course the whammy.

Thanks for your input Jazz...

Are three pickups possible in a series guitar? I thought I read that they were not because they would require 5 preamps (two for hum cancelers, and three for the pickups). I could be totally wrong though.

I assume if one humcanceller is enough for two pickups, it will do for three as well.

Just to make sure, I have (2) hum cancelers to fit between the (2) cavities of (3) pickups.

If one is enough, then two can't be bad.

If one is enough, there's no point in having two. ;-)

I will keep as this question a mystery.

Who dream is it anyway....

This guitar will be hugely different than anything I played, or owned.

Change...

Ivy colored Alembic pickups will be required.
No white pickups, the show stops dead, and the dream will be over.

hendixclarke · « **Reply #12 on:** May 12, 2009, 08:44:16 AM »

Alembic has White pickups... The dream continues onward...

I am really feeling a very positive vibe... It feels like the same vibe I have for the Toma_Hawk.

There's this zone of peace and I can hear the music echoing for a life of it's own...

I hope this last...
