In Diddly Doodly

[Dedman]

That should look wicked Dedman, Bo Diddley invented the distinctive Chord Riff rhythm for the song "Who do you love".

Heres a cover you may not have heard

[DrNomis_44]

That's cool Dedman, I have heard lots of things about The Jesus And Mary Chain,but had never heard them untill now, their lead singer sounds a bit like Michael Hutchence, the former lead singer of INXS, or that may just be my imagination.



The Doors did a good cover version of "Who do you love" too:

Bo modified a cut shuffle in 2/4 time and used one chord, similar to Chuck Berry Maybelline, that was written in 1954, that was adapted from a song called Ida Red, it all stems down from Rockabilly.

He may have wrote the song, but he didnt invent the cut shuffle

so today I went bought the timber to make the frame for this, the neck is here, I have the ply for top and back. I have tuners and a stop tail bridge. I also have a Tele switch plate that I may or may not use depending on................pick ups.
Can't make my mind up what to use. I have a Pitbull Tele set, I have a single Pitbull P90 or I could get one of those cheap "loaded" strat pickguards and gut it or a pair of chinese humbuckers. The idea is not to spend too much. If it turns out to be OK I can always replace the pups. Any suggestions?

Single P90!

[Dedman]

Single P90!

I'm doing a JR-1 with a single split humbucker so I kinda have that sound covered (it's were I got the single P90 from, it came in that kit) Maybe the p90 on the bridge and a tele neck pup?

[wokkaboy]

yeah I reckon that would sound cool Dedman, might as well have 2 pups - P90 bridge and tele neck should give you a good variety of sounds

[Fretworn]

I think twin P90s or twin Humbuggies (as Gearmandude calls them) would best suit the style of guitar.

So..I got bored waiting for painters to come and paint the house so, stuff it! I started on this.
All I did today was cut the 4 main frame timbers and mock it up. I've since tidied and glued it. It can sit and set for a couple of days now as I have a shooting match on Saturday and socialising on Sunday . Might work on it again on Monday and do the "center block" stays and try routing the frame so I can inlet the ply top. I don't have a router but I do have a router attachment for my dremel.

Where did you get the neck from Dedman?
