    What about an Electric Sitar?, like the old 60's Coral Sitar, I reckon that would be a cool idea for a new PBG kit.

    I half think this is why my daughter's doll house has a stairway that looks suspiciously like a fretboard, the cat's tower is 34" scale, one of my scratchbuild experiments has little draws for needles and thread and the bookshelf for the FrankenLab is morphing into a folding card table or possibly a 2x12 Cab.

    But it keeps me off the streets I suppose!
    time to stop sniffin the timbermate :P

    Well, due to an unwise agreement I made with my wife, I can't get a new kit unless I sell/give away/dispose of another guitar. I'm currently building some guitar racks so my guitars can move into the house and get used more. Then I might try a rebuild my scratch lappy some time this year, as I know I could build better now.

    I have considered putting one of these on my Danelectro, But sitar sounds are kind of a one-trick pony, like the guitar equivalent of a vibraslap, so I don't think I'd ever really use it.

    Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.

    Hmmm, very interesting Kick.

    Just needs a Marshall stack and loads of distortion to be truly Heavy Metal though how would you control the feedback from one of those things?
