what the hell is going on

[astrozombie]

in the neck position of this guitar?

[metalmachine]

2 different half's of a bass coil

[crguti]

yep, it's half of a precision bass pickup.

why someone would do that?... actually, I would like to listen the sound of that freak guitar.

[sosomething]

They also did something to the low E at the bridge. Looks like they excluded it from the tremolo somehow.

[GoldenVulture]

And it's got two jack plugs!

[MisterE]

Looks like a dope induced idea to me.

[grumptruck]

If one of my buds at work said that We'd have a hayday with him.

[GuitarDoc]

Someone was definitely high when they put that Frankenstein together.

[PRSfan nym 1985]

perhaps, you guys gotta remember Leo Fender himself did some pretty nutty experiments that led to some really spectacular guitar designs and tones.

I would reserve my own judgements til after playing it firsthand, I think it could be kinda cool.

As for the two jacks, maybe he wired it in stereo?

[Strat111]

This whole thing looks strange. It looks like someone wanted to have a bass and 6 string guitar in one guitar w/one neck. Only, the bass pu was put under the wrong strings. One jack could be for the bass pu, the other for the bridge pu. I don't even know what tuning is to be used with this thing. I'd be curious to hear the sounds that come out of it.

[Varg]

Id guess they were using it much of the time as a drone.

So yeah, some weird hippie influenced idea there.

[Edgecrusher]

Now thats punk I dig it

[ItsaBass]

Looks like one coil from a P-Bass and another from a Mustang Bass.

[astrozombie]

im dying to know how it sounds, but i found the image online randomly.

[Jessie's ghost]

And it's got two jack plugs!

The lower one is the output. The upper one is where you connect the water pipe.

the upper one is for headphones

[Edgecrusher]

actually im suspecting this might be like what the guy from Local H did when they couldnt find a bass player. He put bass pickups on his SG through a different output jack into a bass amp

LMAO, that's a good one.

[astrozombie]

LMAO, that's a good one.

wow i didnt catch that

[Funkfingers]

AFAIR, one coil of a split Precision Bass pickup makes a pretty tidy mandolin pickup. The Mustang/Electric XII coil should throw a wide enough magnetic field to sense both the E and A strings. What happens to the signals after that is anybody's guess. (My suggestion is split signals a la Billy Sheehan Attitude signature bass.)

Relocating the anchoring point of the low E string is probably just a crude attempt to achieve a better break angle over the bridge saddles. (A Buzz Stop would have looked tidier.)
