Got an Eastwood electric 12 string. I have been playing it for the past week and a half and have been pretty impressed with it so far. Not a lot of options
out there for affordable solid body 12 strings.

My only electric, it’s a near copy of Allen Collins’ favorite guitar. His was a ‘55 black strat with a ‘52 Tele neck. Mine is a custom shop Clapton strat with a custom shop ‘52 neck. That is his original flight case for his guitar, the original guitar was stolen in 1989. This setup has a really cool tone through 100+ watt vintage Peavey tube amps.

Newly arrived on Thursday, I've been busily working on learning the fretboard first. That's a LOT of range spread across those six strings and 24 frets.

Current state of gear is pretty bare. I'm just getting back into playing guitar after not playing much in about 20 years. I had my MIM Strat (in the pic) and a Washburn D20B acoustic, which were both gifts from parents and grandparents respectively. I ordered a Yamaha APX600 to fart around on, and it's pretty nice for $300.
I also picked up a Yamaha THR30II as an amp. I really like it. It's also pretty good as a Bluetooth speaker for playing music from my phone through. A couple weekends ago I did a couple upgrades on the Strat. New Graphtech nut and then I installed some Sperzel staggered locking tuners I've had laying around for years. I only boogered up one of the tuner holes when I widened it!  Attached FileThe Yamaha acoustic:  Attached FileAnd a bit of the "frankenstrat" mods. On/off switches for the pickups. I tend to hate the volume knob on Strats being so close to the bridge, so I moved it to the bottom, wired the tone up as a master, and then put the phat switch in, which was going to be a switch between the pickups and a piezo pickup bridge that I never got... so that switch just cuts the signal completely.

I haven't had it long enough to feel out the tuners yet. I'm still just kind of marveling on just how big it is. Makes my Ibanez 7 and my 4 string basses seem small. So far I'm happy with the guitar, even if it's only been 24 hours. |

It's a Eurorack format modular synthesizer. There are ~6 voices in it (you can get more, or less, depending on how it's patched). It has oscillators, filters, envelope generators, complex frequency generators, LFOs, modules that mess with clock signals in various ways, audio effects, 3 sequencers, MIDI interfaces, and a bunch more. Think of modules as the building blocks of sound synthesis, and how you patch them into each other (and themselves) allows you to build a custom machine. |

I came across this one a while ago and it inspired me to build my own, though I'm doing mine in 7 string.  Attached File |
