This project is the one I've been busting my strings to start.
The basis for this audacious (hee hee) bitzer will be a TL-1 neck, leftovers from an ST-1 plus lots of cool shit (I have no shortage of pinball parts let alone guitar bits)
The format will be a "cigar box" body proportioned to resemble a pinball machine cabinet.
Headstock will be shaped like a classic "wedgehead" pinball backbox.
The body will house its own inbuilt baby 9vdc amplifier & multi effects unit(see pic)gutted & wired to suit. These will be controllable from pinballesque knobs on the guitar itself.
A small speaker will be at each top corner of the body & semi-concealed. In addition there will be a fair bit of LED lighting fitted inside the body & parts within to give that blingy pinball look.
At this point I plan to use a single bridge humbucker to minimise clutter on what will equate to a pinball playfield inside the body.
9vdc will be supplied by what will appear to be a guitar lead connected to an off the shelf power supply. An electronics wiz mate is helping me here with calculating the required/available milliamps etc. to run all the on board stuff.

P.S. Please don't start with the "Tommy" jokes folks.

has potential to be a most amazing build...
-
Wow, just wow.
I saw the picture in your other build thread and wondered what you were up to. Can't wait to see this take shape.
Love your concept drawing too. = )
-
Well, I am SO looking forward to seeing this pan out. Please, tell me there's gonna be a "TILT" warning light!
-
Love it. Love the idea. Love the name. You're imagination never ceases to amaze.
-
Awesome concept. Can't wait to see how it shapes up. Love the concept art.
Cheers,
Gavin.

The concept art is worth framing. You're a true artist Max.
-
I am sooo looking forward to watching this build. It should be insane.
-
wow this is going to be something different.
And I have so many TOMMY lines I could use right now.. :(
-
One question, wouldn't it be better to start with a 3 by 3 neck, rather than using a tele neck?
Still it's an insane concept, but if you've proved you could pull it off.
