experimental guitars

nothing wrong with some good old blog recycling…pitchfork has a nice interview with an experimental guitar builder, whose done some unique creations for various guitar heros, i.e. lee ranaldo of sonic youth. this particular creation basically made my jaw drop…

“It’s basically a two-string guitar with a built-in thumb piano. The strings of the guitar can be bent by a brake cable from a moped, which is connected to a foot pedal. When amplified, the thumb piano, which is mounted to the guitar body, has a very low and impressive sound, almost like a vibraphone.”
