Looks cool, but looks heavy almost like you would be holding a tabletop shelf, in which case you could put it on stand and it's already a tabletop

Re: One wicked Keytar
The first one looks really interesting. Real strings, nice. A long time ago I wanted to make a keyboard instrument with a Clavinet/harpsichord action, but with 60 guitar length strings and 10 humbuckers, 60 grover tuning pegs And a big steel slide mechanism over the strings to bend notes. Called it a keytar, but that term seems to belong to those remote MIDI's now.
Here is a somewhat badass one I picked up:

Really nice finish. A sunburst like a Fender and maple neck with a Fender style knurled metal volume knob. Serial #004, probably not many made?
Did make a cool guitar shaped custom Moog 1150 ribbon controller. A little past badass?

The nerve of these guys totally stealing my idea!

At least they didn't put a theremin and an iron on it or I'd have to sue.

Barf. Those guys still trying to make videos. At least none of them were in the video failing it up. Those girls totally laughed at them.wiss wrote:gearwire
