Guitar Resonance - is this the future?

Doctor J

With the sad passing of the mighty Piggy from Voivod a few weeks ago I was reminded of the guitar he used for the last few years, the F4C



Dunno if I like this or not, but again, it's a big step away from traditional guitar design and I'd certainly like to compare it against a wooden design.

What the hell is wrong with you? That's not a guitar. That's some form of medieval torture device!

The lack of a headstock, IMO, makes Piggy (RIP) look stupid while he's playing.

It also features the coat hanger bar from the Roland synth guitar

I only like guitars that were designed in the 1950s :rolleyes:

Actually I'd never heard of that guitar before so thanks Doc. I think the idea of taking the strain off the neck and fretboard is a good one. The appearance of that particular axe does not float my boat however.

I'm sorry to say I had never heard of poor old Piggy (RIP) either

Doctor J

Lay the guitar flat on a table. Remove the strings and clean the neck with a paper towel. Don't use abrasive cleaners. Make sure not to pull on the neck when the strings are off, because it is attached only by the pickup wires.

:eek:

Eh... that can't be good

Personally i'd love to give one a go!

Doctor J

It's very simple, but very clever, read through the site. Good idea. I like this (except aesthetically)

Karl Hungus

Hmm... it's an oddity. I honestly have to say I'm not mad on it, an aluminium fretboard doesn't sound very pleasing at all.

YEH FECK IT LADS

Hehe. I agree, a wicked SGish headstock would make it look rather snappy. But I like the idea behind the geeetar.
