  • It's Triple Chaos time again. Making a 3-string license plate guitar.
    Reclaimed oak box, mahogany neck with dovetailed Beech headstock. The whole guitar was burned after assembly and sanded again, finished with a few layers of Portuguese wax. Bridge and neck from mahogany, fret dots and headstock out of beech, the back is made from recycled steel, volume and tone knobs in the "knee stand" (connected with copper tube). (amplified by a rod piezo under the bridge).

    Not Just Sawdust, Não Só Serradura, because it isn't just that. It's the evidence reflecting the relentless urge to create, the proverbial blood of that beautiful material nature provides us with. It's the sharp teeth that cut, the subdued mind that finds out what a piece of wood harbors in itself.

    Yep, I do like the sound. Is it better for the resonance to leave the backside open, rather than put a cover on it?
