looks insane Max, love the concept and how its turning out. Whats all the circuitry will that run flashing lights ? assume the electronics near the blue button are for powering the speakers ? wedgestock looks amazing. This project will be one of a kind, that's for sure !
Current Builds and status
scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck
Completed builds
scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in
Hey Max. How much d'ya reckon it'll weigh in the end? You may need to play it on a stand like Yngwie.
Wokka@ Circuitry -
Flashing LED lamps will be run from incoming 9VDC via a simple programmable chaser unit coming from U.S.A. The amp & effects will of course be powered from the common 9VDC source.
The little board near the further blue button on the right is just a jackplate with a 9v power in socket and an odd looking, but standard guitar output socket on it.
The tan coloured PCB sitting below the bridge mount is a 9VDC 3WRMS amplifier which will indeed power the two speakers which have matched impedance.
Clear as mud to me 8O
Lawry@ Weight -
Because she's hollow and the electronics are very light, I'm hoping the whole deal won't weigh much more than a Strat or similar. Will do a comparative weigh up soon.
And because I don't go gigging, I suppose I can play sitting or just leave the bastard hanging on the wall :?
You could always put it on a stand and set it up for slide.
Just a small update:
Artwork for the "backglass" in the wedgestock plagiarised from a SOCIETY6 poster/shirt of Pete Townshend performing Tommy.
I Photoshopped their cool graphic to create what I hope will be suitable for my purposes.
Note that the score reel says 1969 - the year The Who released Tommy.
Also note the largish "TILT" sign which will be backlit by a LED on a tilt actuated switch.
Very cool design. How are you going to print it?

Love it! That design would also make a great vinyl wrap for a tele!
Cheers,
Gav.

I don't want to sidetrack this thread but I'm curious about a comment you made above Gav. Tell me more about this vinyl wrap thingy. Never heard of it, but I take it that you can lay a design over the body or such like.
Never tried it but Andy could probably tell us more. It's kinda like they do for cars and such. Just a big vinyl decal to put whatever design you want over your guitar body..
Cheers,
Gav.
